Opening Control Panel and using the Add/Remove Programs applet to remove software from your computer is something really easy, but many computer users moving from Windows XP to Vista are shocked by the lack of this applet in the later operating system. Obviously, Microsoft didn't remove this tool, but due to the changes that took place in the Control Panel, it's a bit harder to find now, so please allow me to show you the way...
- Press the Start Orb, then click on Control Panel to open it.
- In the Control Panel, locate the Programs applet, and click on it.
- Once the new window opens, watch the first item - Programs and Features.
- To open the uninstaller, click on Uninstall a program.- In the list of installed programs, select the one that you want to remove, and click Uninstall.
- Follow the instructions on screen, depending on the program you're uninstalling.This is it, but watch the Programs and Features area carefully, because this is where you'll return to turn off various Windows features or to view installed updates, so try to remember it!
