Adding New Software Programs to Your Computer

There are two ways to install a new program: using the install utility that comes with the new program, or using the Add/Remove Programs utility in Windows 95.

To install new programs by running Add/Remove Programs:

1Put the CD in the media drive, or put the diskette in the diskette drive.

2Click Start on the Windows 95 taskbar.

3Select Settings.

4Click Control Panel.

5Double-clickAdd/Remove Programs.

6Click Install.

7Follow the on-screen directions.

Once a new program is installed, it appears in the Programs section of the Start menu.

Note: If you do not install programs with an install utility (or the Add/Remove Programs utility), you won’t be able to remove the programs properly later. Merely deleting a program icon will not remove all of the program files.

Removing Programs from Your Computer

There are a number of ways to remove programs from your hard disk. Some programs come with their own uninstall utility, which you use to remove the program. You can buy uninstall utilities that remove any program from your hard disk. Or you can use the Add/Remove Programs utility in Windows 95.
