How to Uninstall Internet Explorer 8, Outlook Express and Hotmail

Uninstall programs you don't use or don't want.

When you have programs that you don't want on your computer, uninstalling them is an easy fix. It is important to remember that you cannot just click on the icon and hit "Delete," because this will only delete the icon and could actually cause problems with your computer. As long as you follow the directions, you can uninstall Outlook and Internet Explorer 8. Because Hotmail is a web-based program, "uninstalling it" means canceling your account.

Instructions

Uninstall

1. Click on your Start menu and then find "Add/Remove Programs."

2. Scroll through the list of programs as the computer creates it.

3. Click to highlight both Internet Explorer 8 and Outlook. Choose "remove" to remove each of the programs one at a time from your computer.

Cancel Hotmail

1. Click on your Hotmail account and log into the program.

2. Click on "Account Settings" and scroll through them.

3. Choose "deactivate account" to get rid of your Hotmail account. This is just like uninstalling it.
