It's probably not a good idea for you to use the recovery disk if you don't know what it does.

Basically it'll make everything like new. All your files, settings, programmes that you installed yourself, will be gone forever.

Of course this does have the advantage if your system is over-run by malware, but it shouldn't be used if you haven't back all your stuff up first.

As for removing stuff - see if the programmes you want removed have uninstall files. These you can usually run and the progamme with go away. But It's really safer to do things like that via the control panel

well the recovery disks usually restore everything on the computer, so it will run and be like it was new. it will get rid of most viruses and programs and restore what was originally on the computer. and for removing unwanted programs, the recovery disc will probably remove them. if it didnt, you can try to send it to the recycle bin then empty it.. but i normally go to the add/revmoe programs thing, if it doesnt work there.. it could maybe be like a virus or something and you may have to install something to get it. well, hope i helped=)♥
