Uninstalling Programs/Applications
 

I notice that many programs and applications do not come with any uninstall file. How does one remove a program or application that they no longer want, or is not working properly.

Windows itself has a Control Panel/Add-Remove but what does a PPC have to remove programs/apps?.

Where should the program or app be installed...device or card?
Will a cab file when executed know where it needs to be put?

I am hesitant to install programs without knowing how to successfully and safely remove them.

Thanks. This PPC is very new to me. Not like a desktop for sure.

Click start, click settings, click system tab, scroll down click on remove programs, high light program click remove.

Ok, thanks. I found it shortly after posting. Also , I discovered that Active Sync also has a remove program function.

I don't think it matters where most programs are installed, but from what I understand, if it is a CAB file, it knows. :)

So much to learn. I'm glad you guys (and gals) are here to help us.

That may not remove everything. You may have to manually remove some files.

Often removing programs the default way still leaves registries etc as someone has mentioned. i used memmaid to clean it up but this still can leave traces as well. personally i like to backup using SPB and then you can restore the file if the program doesnt work out, much cleaner.

:violent2:You can use this method or you can use a File Explorer program like Total Commander to locate the file, then when you have the file hold down on it w/stylus for 2 seconds then in drop down window hit delete.
