There must be hidden files as there is virtually nothing in the documents folder now.
If you think that there are literally some files marked as Hidden and not showing up, you can enable viewage of them by opening Windows Explorer and going to Tools > Folder Options > View and checking the circle called "Show Hidden Files and Folders". Be careful though as not everything marked as hidden is meant to be discovered and rummaged through.
I welcome any suggestions as to how to make this laptop lean and very clean. Probably should post a HiJackThis log at some point.
Using ATF-Cleaner weekly is an excellent way to free up small amounts of space and keeping your computer cache clean. If you wish to get a Malware check up then feel free to post your HTJ log in the
HijackThis™ Logs and Infections Removal Board.
Also, if you are interesting in keeping a clean computer, I suggest NTREGOPT for your registry, it is a free registry optimizer/cleaner that works fairly well. You can download it from here.

And don't forget to get all the High Priority updates as well as checking out the Software and Hardware updates from www.update.microsoft.com.
The touch pad does not scroll. would a driver update fix that?
Well it shouldn't hurt, again you can check www.update.microsoft.com for major hardware updates too, although they may not have one for your touch pad.
What is the best browser for this little laptop? Or doesn't it matter?
Well, your the best one for telling us if it matters. Do you use the internet often? For gaming? For downloading? In short, people either stick with the latest version of Internet Explorer or they get it's free competitor, FireFox. I use and suggest FireFox which you can get from www.firefox.com.
As for your other questions and concerns, I suggest you make new topics in the appropriate Boards for them so as not to flood your welcome topic with help and advice on random issues. Anyways, best of luck with your new computer!
