Of the programs previously mentioned in this thread, the only one I have tried (with caution) is the SlimCleaner Beta. I like the concept of having a "second opinion" coming from the program's active users.
Regarding the alternative that has been suggested, bloggers have reviewed the product (and seem to approve of it).
Quoted from the Developers' website:
"The PC Decrapifier is absolutely free for personal use. [...] If you use this program for commercial purposes, you will require a commercial license. The commercial version also contains additional features that are useful to those that use this as part of their business".

Also, to paraphrase from a blog entry:
"The portable version can remove in an unattended fashion the so-called bloatware that comes pre-installed on some PCs. Using this utility, you can view the list of items it detects and then choose what will be removed".

Erratum: The SlimDrivers product is listed on the website as a commercial product. (It is not Beta software.)

Temporary file cleaner? My method is to go to %temp%, Ctrl-A, and then Shift-Del.
