How to un-bloat speed disk

Speed disk is the most commonly used component of Norton utilities. To use, copy the following files off your disk: N32userl.dll N32dlist.dll N432dlistu.dll Sd32eng.dll S32guil.dll S32dmapl.dll Nuabout.dll Nusplash.dll Tkke16l.dll Tkke32l.dll symkrnll.dll symkrnll.vxd Sd32vxd.vxd S32fatL.dll S32utill.dll S32krnll.dll Sd32.exe Image32.exe
Now copy the following file to C:\Windows\System S32stat.dll
Now copy the following files to C:\Program files\Common Files\Symantec Shared Logger.exe Loggerps.dll

The first 18 files go into C:\Program Files\Norton Utilities and you need to add 1 more file to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared The file is called symmigr8.dll
And exactly how does this "unbloat" scandisk? It looks more like an install.
IE: Why would I want to do this?

It un-bloats it by removing all of the useless dlls that norton utilities classifies as ""basefiles"" but are really only used by one or more programs.

But, whether the files are there or not, and whether they are used or not, won't have any affect on running Speedisk.
So, is the "bloat" you are saving, disk space? In this age of multi GB disk drives, why would one really care.
Also, Diskdoctor is a frequently used utility, since it provides better diagnostic capabilities than Scandisk. And, CleanSweep that is an excellent uninstaller.

To add diskdoctor, just add the file ndd.exe and ndd32.exe (it works), but I use just plain old windows scandisk.
