Change or Remove Programs

When you click the Change or Remove Programs button, you see all the programs that are installed on your Notebook.

ÄCaution: Programs should never be removed from your Notebook by deleting program files and folders in Windows Explorer.

You can display these programs in the Add/Remove Programs dialog box according to their name, size, frequency of use, or date last used.

want to keep. Programs you have installed with the Add/Remove Programs utility can later be safely deleted with that utility.

Control Panel.

2.Double-click the Add/Remove Programs ¤ icon. A welcome dialog box is displayed.

3.Select the program you want to change or remove.

4.Click the Change/Remove button. The Confirm File Deletion dialog box is displayed.

ÄCaution: You may not be prompted to confirm deletion after clicking the Add/Remove button. Make sure you want to remove the program before

clicking the Add/Remove button.
