Thanks guys! Here are some questions. Some are probably very basic especially for the computer savvy ones.
1. Is it safe to uninstall these programs? I'm wondering which ones are safe to delete and which ones are worth (or even necessary) keeping.

2. How can I speed up the startup time?
3. How do I change the startup/welcome screen background? The one where you choose a user and/or type in your password before logging in.
