I don't think this has been said yet but I am sorry if it has. Another
way to get to add remove is to go into programs and features in control
panel and it will bring up a list of installed programs. Press the first
letter of the program you want to remove and then find it that way and
hit applications and uninstall should be one of the options.

Hi all,
If you set the Control Panel to display as large or small icons, you
can navigate the links with all four arrow keys or first letter
navigation. With category view it is hard to understand and I feel
the same way as this person. So, to change the Control Panel view to
large or small icons:
1. Open Control Panel.
2. Tab one time from the search edit field. It will say category
button. This in fact tells you the view and if pressed opens a
context menu.
3. In this context menu, down arrow to large or small icons and press
enter.
4. There you have it, a sort of XP-like Control Panel.
Hope this helps.

Thanks a lot Ishe for your step by step guide to creating a desktop
shortCut. In windows seven, that will save a lot of pain. Windows
seven's control pannel is crowded with too many links, i hardly find
what I want there! Even with godMode folder which have been nicely
suggested by some folks here or maybe in another list, i still could
not
be as quick as i used to be in windows XP. The godMode folder's
structure is a bit complicated as well.
Well Ishe, is there a way to know all the applications' names there? If
so, please save me a lot of trouble by explaining it.
All the best!

Thanks Hamid for having tested this on Win7 and you're welcome.
Actually, this works on all NT-based systems as it directly links to a
built-in applet.
In fact, the easiest way would be to create a shortcut to Add or
Remove Applet on your start menu or your desktop so that you don't
have to go to the Control Panel to hunt it out. Just go to your
desktop, press CTRL+Spacebar to remove a default highlight on any icon
there. After this, press your Applications key, arrow to New submenu:
right arrow to open the submenu. Here find "Shortcut" and activate it
by pressing Enter.
A dialog box will appear asking you for the location of the shortcut:
type in "appwiz.cpl" without any quotes.
Click Next: you will be asked for the name of the shortcut. Type "Add
or Remove Programs" or any name which you can memorise. Then click
Finish.
From now on, you will have Add or Remove shortcut on your desktop.
You can copy this shortcut to your Start menu folder so that you will
see this on your Start Menu as well. This also can be accomplished by
simply highlighting the newly-created shortcut on the desktop and go
to "Pin to Start menu" and you're done.
This also means you can choose to create a custom hotkey to quickly
open Add or Remove Programs: the choices are endless once you have the
shortcut.
Let me also state that this can be done to link to any applet in the
control panel and not just the Add or Remove applet: you simply must
know the name of the applet to do this trick.
Cheers,
Ishe

Definitely it works on windows seven as well! I've just tried it
after Ishe sent the information and it worked! Thanks Ishe a lot.

Ish, that's pretty neat, Man. Will it work with Windows 7?
I doubt it. But it's so easy just to type uninstall a program in the
Search
field.
Nice little trick.

Hi Rosemarie
Perhaps by the time you will get this message someone else will have
helped
you out: but if not, here we go:
1. Click Start.
2. Then go to Run...
3. In the edit field, type this string
appwiz.cpl
and press the enter key.
The Add or Remove dialog will appear. You can then do the remove
operation
or any other maintenance job related to this applet.
However, if you are worried about this applet not appearing in the
control
panel list, this could probably due to some other settings you
inadvertently
made, but in the meantime let's proceed this way and see the result.
Hope this helps.

Hi, everyone,
I wanted to remove something from my computer but now I can't.
When I
go into settings and then control pannel, it only shows me four
listings. I just see accessibility options, wireless network,
games
and regional language or something like that. How do I correct
this
problem?
Any help will be very much appreciated.
Many thanks in advance.
