Removing Software

 

General Information

 

When you install a software program on your computer, many files on your

 

system are either added or shared because of the new program. When you

 

remove a program, you need to remove all files associated with that program,

 

not just the files you see in a particular program folder.

 

Do not simply remove the executable file from your hard drive. Be sure to

 

“uninstall” it properly, using the Add/Remove Programs feature in the

 

Windows Control Panel.

NOTE

 

During the remove process, if you are asked whether you would like to remove shared

 

files, answer “No.” Other programs that use these files may not work properly if the

 

files are deleted.
