202292 2003-12-23 01:09:00 I wanna clean out my laptop as i've got sooo much stuff on it and have recently brought 20 blank cdrs and 1 cdrw...

But I dont know what to uninstall? apart from games that i dont play..
i use winxp and i dont have that great confidence of uninstalling stuff..
but i want to/need to...

Whats the best way to go around this?

Main reason of asking this is because in folders i find this..
"desktop.ini" file...and "mvstcdxx.lst" (these 2 are from My Pictures folder) and theres the desktop ini file in many other folders...
can i delete those when folders empted or are they required to go on cd too?

Theres more others but i cant find them right now...

Also, is there anything else i should uninstall that you know I probably have on my laptop thats not required...

One other thing is..
I just had a look in Windows Components, it says outlook express is installed and size is 0.0mb...how can it be installed with no size? and can i remove it without a issue as i now use Outlook 2003

Cheers in advance

Chris
