My new HP came with pre-installed "Easy Internet Signup" intended, I'm
sure, to help with easy early-on connections to e.g., Earthlink, AOL,
Netscape, PeoplePC, MSN. I do not plan on using any of these (unless I
get desperate sometime in the far-distant future). Do I truly need
this (large) Online Services folder and its set of shortcuts? If not,
how may I go about *safely* deleting the whole kit and kaboodle?

Definitely not. It's one of the first things (after Norton and/or
McAfee) that I delete when helping someone setup a new system

If it's not listed in Add Remove Programs, delete all the shortcuts
and then the folders in Program Files. Not the cleanest way to do it,
but it works.

Okay, will do! Thanks very much! (And I will spread the word!)
