How do you uninstall Microsoft Mail? Am using Thunderbird and am very
satisfied with it. (Can't say the same about Win7)

Please be a bit more specific. Microsoft Mail was last used circa 1995.

Control Panel | Uninstall A Program. Find Windows Live Essentials. Right
click to Uninstall and you will then be offered a list of which "Live"
programs you want to remove.

Two points:

1. Windows Live Mail does *not* come with Windows 7. No e-mail program
comes with Windows 7. It's a free Microsoft program that can be
downloaded and installed on any recent version of Windows. If it came
with your Windows 7 computer, it's because the computer's manufacturer
elected to install it, not because Windows 7 came with it.

2. You can normally uninstall it just as you would any other
program--Control Panel | Programs and Features. But if it came
preinstalled on your computer, it might be somewhat different; I'm not
sure.

I'm sorry Bruce, but I can't find any way to uninstall a program or a
list of "live" programs anywhere in Control Panel. I'm using Windows 7
Home Premium.

Hi, Bandi.

The click-path in Windows 7 (any version) is:
Start | Control Panel | Programs and Features | Windows Live Essentials.

As Ken and Bruce said, Windows 7 comes with NO email program at all. Since
the Windows Live Essentials are free for the download (
http://explore.live.com/windows-live-essentials?os=other ), many vendors
pre-install it on computers they sell, but Microsoft does NOT include it in
any version of Windows.

Note that Win7 changed the wording of WinXP's "Uninstall A Program" to
"Programs and Features". And the app you are looking for is not in Control
Panel itself, but one level down, and not under "M" for Mail or Microsoft,
but "W" for Windows Live Essentials. There are more than a half-dozen apps
under the "Essentials" umbrella; Windows Live Mail is just one of them.
After clicking on Essentials, you should see a menu to Remove or Repair some
or all of the apps.

Click the Windows tart button and type "programs" (no quotes). In
the results list, click "Programs and Features". It's the first
result in my Win 7 Home Premium, but it might be in a different
position in your list.

Anybody besides me thinking of "Valorie" at this point? :)

Though I give "bandi" credit for providing the necessary specific
information on only the second round.

One might think of Valorie, but the headers are remarkably different;
even the time zones differ.

There are plenty of newbies around...and they've got to start somewhere.

When I first started in computers, some of my ideas were so far off the
mark that the experts couldn't begin to answer my questions, because
they couldn't make any sense of what I was saying :)

I've had Valorie killfiled here for a long time, and I'm happy to very
seldom see that name anymore, and not to have to remember it. You guys
are reminding me! <vbg>

Yep many people who "know their way around" a computer seem to tend to
forget that many people daily jump in for the first time. When I went back
to school again I was soon surprised to see how many people were always
coming to me for PC help. They seemed to think I was some kind of expert
even though I oft told them I was very new to this all.

Not me. I knew everything when I started. I only got dumber over time.

It's amazing what a two-week head start can do :)
