I got this from another list I am on :
It seems like I get questions all the time asking how to remove /
uninstall programs. So, here's the step-by-step procedure:
1. The first thing to do is click the Start menu, Programs. Then
hunt for the program you want to delete. Oftentimes, you'll find
an Uninstall
program under it's program group.
2. Another way would be to click the Start button, Settings,
Control Panel. Then open the Add/Remove programs icon. You'll see
a list of
programs that Windows can remove from your system. Just click the
one you would like to remove and hit the OK button.
3. If neither of the above works, you can always go to the
program's folder and delete it. However, there is no guarantee
that the program was
confined to that folder. It could have other files distributed
throughout your computer.
4. Finally, you might consider a program like Quick Clean. Once
installed, it watches which program files go where and can remove
unneeded files for you.
As I mentioned yesterday, you might get a message during
uninstall telling you that there are shared files (.dll) that are
not needed--it seems that whenever I delete these, it turns out I
DO need them for another program to run, so it may be best to
keep those files.
Keep in mind that some of the files that get placed on your hard
drive when you install a program are basically updates to some of
your existing
files. So if you are uninstalling something and get a message
saying not all the files from a program could be removed, it may
be due to the fact
that other programs also use these files.
