Take Control: Add/Remove Programs Page 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

Spring Cleaning The Computer Mama done told you and told you—Don’t install software on the computer without asking. There are games and old software in every possible place. What's the best way to clean up? Toss It In The Trash? The lazy man's way is to simply delete the program. Go to the Computer, grab the game folder and drag it to the trash can. This will eliminate a bunch of stuff. However, it won’t put the computer back to the way it was before you installed the game. The Start Button will still have a shortcut to the game or what have you. If anyone clicks on it they will receive an error message.   Each game or program also has files in the System folder. There may be dynamic link libraries (dlls), installation and configuration files. Which ones should be deleted?

The Computer Mama’s Macintosh used to sing like Oscar the Grouch whenever the trash was emptied. My little kids thought it was a game. They would laugh and laugh as they dragged my files to the trash, unaware that they were deleting my work! Start ->Computer->Programs
