Re: Want to get rid of Toshiba Softwares pre-installed on Satellite L650-165

Hi,
i just bought my Satellite Pro L650-165 and there are a number of softwares that come pre-installed with it.
Such as Toshiba Tempro, Eco Mode, Bulliten Board etc etc.
Considering the fact that i will be using this for my university i will be running numerous ram intensive programs on it.
So i want to free up all the ram i can by uninstalling all these utlities.
I know what you are thinkin... yes just because they are installed doesnt mean they are running. But is it safe to?
I know it should be but still asking. i just want to be left with plain ol windows7 minus all the 'cool softwares'. any precautions?
oh and although i have created the recovery discs using the builtin utility to do so.. i was thinking of ordering one from toshiba too. where to go for that?

>So i want to free up all the ram i can by uninstalling all these utlities.

Even if such tools are installed, this does not mean that they would run in the background and would waste a part of the RAM.
I would not recommend uninstalling such tools but to disable it from automatic startup.
How to do that? Esay
You can do this in msconfig.
Start msconfig and go to start up tab.
There you can just uncheck the tools which you dont need at the beginning.
Save the changes and reboot the unit.
If you would need one of the disabled tools again in startup tab, then you could enable this
Note; disabling the process in msconfig does not mean that you could not start these tools manually
Disabling the tools (processes) in msconfig means ONLY that these tool would not be started automatically when the windows boots up.

Problem Upgrading iPod Software when Installing iTunes 7

Getting rid of unwanted software

Hello there,
I use an ibook G4 and my computer only came with a 60GB HD. I have an external hard drive on which I keep my music and photos. The purpose of this post is that I'm looking for a nice way to be able to view all the files on my G4 and sort though them so that i can get rid of unwanted software and make some more room! I don't want to buy a program to do this so if anyone knows/ can suggest a good way to do this (for free), I would appreciate it!
Thanks!

Managing the available capacity of your HDD is very important. You need to maintain a minimum of 15% of total disk capacity of your HDD as contiguous free or available disk capacity. Failure to do so can lead to directory corruption and consequential data corruption or loss.
Dr. Smoke's FAQ Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk is a good place to start. In terms of a utility that will enable you to see what is occupying your disk WhatSize 10.3.91 (this is the free version) and Disk Inventory will both do the job.
Please do post back with specific questions or comments.

I want to get rid of the Bing screen but there is no "menu at the top of the Firefox window" for me to "select Tools and then select the Add-ons menu item. "

I suddenly have a "Bing" screen when I sign onto Firefox---and I want to get rid of it. The support section of Firefox says
1. "From the menu at the top of the Firefox window, seledt Tools and then select the Add-ons menu item."---but I see no "menu item" nor Tools, much less Add-ons.
2. "In the Add-ons window, click on the Extensions panel."---but how do I find the Add-ons window?
3. Find the Bing Bar and Search Helper Extension in the list and click Disable for each of them."---but what and where exactly is that?
At the top of the screen is only a Yahoo icon on the left and to the right of it a search box, "Web Search,", "My Apps," Yellow Pages," "Weather," "Updates," and "Skype." to the right of those there is a green cross saying "Add more apps. to your toolbar" and to the right of that a sort of gear shift looking icon saying "toobar settings."
So, in short, how do I get rid of the Bing screen and how do I access those Tools?
Thanks.

My brother **** as admin and i want to get rid of him

my brother doesn't deserve to be the default admin and i want to get rid of this privilege. how do i change my account to the default admin without having to sign in as an admin account or having to put his admin password?

As ZigZag pointed out, only an Administrator can Add another Administrator account or assign administrator privileges.
Maybe ask very nicely for administration privileges ;)

Firefox 4+ versions use a new build-in home page named <b>about:home</b> with a Google search bar on it (no internet access needed to load that page).<br />
That about:home page only shows some snippets and has a button to restore the previous session if applicable.
If you want a home page without the Restore Previous Session button and the snippets then set another page as the home page like www.google.com used in Firefox 3 versions.
You may be seeing a similar ad on the Google site to install Google Chrome.<br />
In that case use the close X on that ad to close that pop-up and it should stay away unless local storage gets cleared.

i want to get rid of everything in itunes , music, movies etc and start afresh. Ive deleted all old libraries but still there is stuff in iTunes. Please help me start afresh?

Please do not delete any files from the HDD without having a current backup.
I'm not sure what you mean when you say you've "deleted all old libraries." Can you explain that?
If all you are wanting to do is empty the iTunes library of all music, video playlists, etc. the easiest way is to quit iTunes and, in the Finder, go to ~/Music/iTunes and simply move the .itdb, .itl and .xml files to the trash. Launch iTunes again and the library will be empty.
You should be prompted to add content, so you can let iTunes scan the HDD if you like.
