Removing programs

• WARNING: This section is just for reference.  Do not remove any programs during this training course.
  
  As with installing programs only do this if you have been given specific authority within your company to remove a program. If in doubt ask!  You use the Control panel to remove programs.
  

• Click on the Start button and from within the Start Menu, click on the Control Panel button.
  
  
  

• The Control Panel window looks like this.
  
  
  

• Within the Programs section click on the Uninstall a program command.  This will display a list of programs that you can uninstall.
  
  
  

• Click on the program that you wish to uninstall. In the example shown, the Google Desktop program has been selected. Once selected click on the Uninstall command (displayed above the list).  You may see some warning screens, in which case read them very carefully before deciding whether to proceed or not.  If in doubt, do not remove a program as it can cause problems if you delete programs that should not be deleted.  Close any open windows before continuing.
