BLOAT OR UNWANTED SOFTWARE

Nothing is more frustrating than booting up a a new computer and finding that it's already littered with junk software. This junk is commonly referred to as "BLOAT," although it also goes by other names such as "craplets" and "shovelware." New computers make great targets for advertisers because the companies can pay to have trial versions of their software installed before the computer is sold.

Removing UNWANTED SOFTWARE is like uninstalling any other program, but a few tricks can make it a much smoother process.
Another one is "free software". It's not free - you spend a half hour undoing all it's unwanted software they do not tell you about.Some programs will install or change servers. Example"Google" will all of a sudden be "Bing".

Step 1 Click Start, and navigate to the Control Panel.
Step 2 Double-click the Programs and Features button if you're using the Classic View, or click the Uninstall a program text under the Programs heading if you're using the new Control Panel,example,Win 7.
Step 3 Select the program to remove. With the program selected, click the Uninstall/Change text in the menu near the top of the screen.
Step 4 Follow the uninstall instructions that appear on the screen. Be sure to remove all of the components if prompted.
Step 5 If you're unsure about a program's function, a quick Google search will usually turn up enough information to gauge whether the application is worth keeping.

  If you want to get the old view back, here's what to do: 1. Head to Gmail's settings and go to the Inbox tab. 2. Next to "Inbox type," open the drop down and select any option besides "Default." 3. Rearrange your inbox sections as you desire. *************************************** Replies to emails are at the bottom of the Senders Email To add .jpg's in same place click camers,add pic's and then upload them. ***************************************** No matter which option you choose, you'll get the old segmented inbox back. From there you can choose how many/which sections you want. You will lose the sorted tabs, though: for now, it seems you can only use one type of inbox or the other. We don't know if Google is going to eventually roll out the new inbox system as a mandatory upgrade for all users, however for the time being the choice is entirely up to you.
