Remove Windows (Desktop) Search

Windows Search. Installed without my knowing it and grinding my machine to a halt.

Easy enough to remove, it has an entry in Add/Remove Programs

remove Instalshield Updater

Just got my new machine and want to take off all the unnecessary crap I can find. Instalshield updater seems to run all the time and is only taking care of itself and the DVD burning program I don't really care about or expect to change much.

Trouble is, there's no included options to remove the stupid thing. Thankfully, if you dig a little you can find an uninstaller on Intallshield's website:
