Re: Removing Software You Can't Find in Add/Remove Programs

You've probably already figured this out, but go into Start Menu -> 
Settings -> Control Panel -> Add or Remove programs. Once this comes up 
tab around until you hear "Change or Remove Programs". Arrow down until 
you hear "Add/Remove Windows Components" and press the space bar. This 
will bring up an applet where you can select Windows components you want 
to add or remove. You may need your Windows install media for this 
applet to work. Good luck!
