Clearing unused notification icons from the system tray, see the CCleaner method:

Make sure you're using the latest version of CCleaner.

do i need cyberlink media suite and others but not cyberlink youcam

 

[Ink]

I'm assuming that Cyberlink software came with your PC. If you don't need or use it, uninstall it. No point keeping something you don't require. A lot of people assume their PC won't work without the pre-installed software, from what I've read elsewhere. Our Lenovo came with YouCam and other crap that no one used, got rid of all of it.

Only keep the software you've paid for, ie. Office or Security software, although those are optional payments when purchasing a computer.

Burnaware is another good software. Small in size too.

hows does one watch tv shows on your laptop

 

[Ink]

Generally, it's either legally or through a video file format.

Check your TV channel website to see if they allow tv catchup, to watch shows on repeat.

XBMC 13 alpha has been released, but it's early days still, also it drops XP support.
