Drop Unncessary Import/Export Filters

How many of those graphics filters do you actually use

By , About.com Guide

How many different formats do you really use when importing or exporting files? Probably only a few. Save time and frustration with long lists to scroll through by uninstalling filters and plug-ins for text and graphics formats you don't use. On those rare occasions when you might need it, you can re-install that filter temporarily. This can also help cut down on the incidents of accidently saving files in the wrong format (because your mouse slipped when choosing from that long list).
