How do I strip my new 9300 of all the useless crap that Dell bundled??

[teddyFBI]

All I did was use the Control Panel add/remove programs to remove anything and everything I knew I wasn't going to use (i.e. their [censored] music software, free NetZero, etc., etc.)

Is there a more comprehensive way to strip out all the useless stuff they bundle? My friend told me I could essentially wipe it clean and then pick and choose the components I wanted to add back on, but I was wary of either a) doing this myself b/c I don't know what I'm doing, or b) letting my retard friend loose on my new $1,400 computer.
