I have a fine HP dual core CPU from HP but I do not want all the HP stuff. I
already un-installed the obvious but would like to totally clean (without
formatting) the C drive of anything from HP.

I am running windowsxp(the original from MS, not the one from HP) and also
have SP#2 installed.

But I get for example at the startup "HP INVENT" logo screen and can do
without that, thank you.

I have already done the msconfig and there is only my NOD32 virus checker
running in startup.

I certainly appreciate comments
