INTRODUCTION

You can remove a shortcut icon or an item from the Start menu, but doing so leaves that program on your hard disk. When you want to get rid of the program and its files entirely, you must uninstall it. (You should move any data files from your program folders if, for example, you plan to use them in another program.)

TIP

WARNING!

With some programs, simply clicking the Remove button is all it takes to delete the program from your system. You won't be prompted as to whether you really, really want to delete it.

TIP

Program Not Listed?

Some programs can't be uninstalled via the Add or Remove Programs dialog box. If your program is not listed, you must use a different procedure. Check your program documentation for specific instructions.
