How to uninstall a program in windows vista

To remove a software, just click on the Start orb, go to Control Panel and choose Uninstall a program. Here there’s a list with programs that you can uninstall, each containing information about the Publisher (who made the software), when was the software installed and the size of it. Click on the application you want to remove and select Uninstall.



What you should know when uninstalling a program

There are some things you should now before or after uninstalling a software:

For safety reasons, you should log off every user (except the administrator) on the computer before uninstalling a software
Some of the programs are not completely uninstalled and they can leave some traces behind. My suggestion is to find out where the remaining file are and erase them (usually in Program Files or Documents)
You can only uninstall a program from Control Panel if it was originally installed with a Windows compatible setup program. Otherwise, you would have to manually delete the files, folders and the shortcuts
