just using control panel to remove unwanted programs. Advantages of clean install?

You can also perform Custom Factory Restore.

Anyone know if its possible to start the clean install process and get to the point of seeing the applications I can exclude and then cancel out of install?.

or

does someone have the list of items one can exclude if I can;t start the process and backout.

Also, with a clean install - are all the drivers installed to the point of where they were originally. I know I need to do ms and lenovo update anyway - but as long as I get back to where I started just with fewer craplets as someone else calls them.

I just got my X61S and am wondering the same thing. I was amazed at how much stuff was running when I first booted up. 78 processes and over 600mb of page filing just upon bootup. That's twice what my other laptop and desktop run (all xp-pro)!

Are there any good threads I should reference regarding what is useful and good to keep and what should be scrapped?

There are a lot of programs you can disable so that they don't run at startup. There are programs that help you to do this. I use Windows Live OneCare and that has such a feature.

My new one arrived today, the MT/MV. Looks like a stuck pixel just off center.

Funny that the MT/MV screen has a different FEEL to it than the SXGA+ screen. Seems like there is some MOVEMENT of material on it? Is that normal?
