I'm so tired of installing applications and plug-ins on computer systems that all ask me -- and default to assuming yes -- would I like to install extra toolbars and (for me) useless utilities on the computers I am working on.

NO, I DO NOT WANT {insert add-on application/toolbar name here} ON THESE SYSTEMS.  If I did want that toolbar/application I know exactly how to go get it, where to place it for easy and convenient access to get it loaded on to systems that I'm working on, and need not have it SHOVED in my face by these 'partners' that are supposedly trying to be overly helpful.

In reality the reason these toolbars/applications are getting shoved in my face is so that the people that provided the other applications I wanted will reap some financial rewards for helping to get me to take these other applications from their partners.

I've had enough of this whole tired system though.  I don't want to have to answer no, or click off the check box.  Yes, I'm glad I at least have the choice, and yes, I know that the people that provided the other plugins and tools that I'm installing are providing them for free thanks to (perhaps) some of the money they are getting paid by Google and Yahoo! (and eBay, etc.) for shoving these toolbars/applications at me, but I really wish that the apps/plugins/toolbars that I want came -- for lack of a better term -- naked and without all of the extra crap.

I know I can be lazy and just remove the unwanted toolbars/apps later if they are 'accidentally installed' and I do wind up having to do just that many times where someone installed these toolbars and didn't know that they didn't have to do it (and don't want/use the new toolbars anyway).  I hate doing that though because I never know if someone really wanted these toolbars or not, and like many applications that get installed in Windows, you never know what extra crap comes along with the toolbars/apps that you'll never be able to truly get rid of.

Perhaps it wouldn't be such a pain if these applications/toolbars truly, completely, seamlessly removed themselves when you uninstall them but so many of them don't even come close to doing that and I don't want to have to be a freakin' computer genius to know what files I can remove later without ill-effect on the systems I'm working with.
