Video Transcript

"In this segment what we are going to do is minimize our work screen that we have been using. We are going to minimize and we are going to go back and get into the control panel and we are going to find out how to remove some of the programs that you possibly will not buy or purchase because your budget is already been to stretched so you can get the machine that you have and then we will rationalize and use freeware for a while until we can earn some more money. So we are going to look at the screen and we are going to go up and we are going to minimize no matter what we are doing we are just going to minimize the screen. So we can see the original desktop and we are going to go down to the start button and click that and we are going to go down to the Control Panel and click that. We are going to go down to programs and features and just them out so you see what it says there uninstall and change programs on your computer and we'll click that. Rather we will double click that. It is going to populate all the programs that are presently installed. What is going on here if some of these programs are not even activated, these are 30 or 60 day trial programs advertisement and for a lot of us we took every penny we had to get the computer itself and we are going to function with shareware and freeware just to make our life a little easier and the problem about some of these programs is you get hooked on them after 60 days and you say well what am I going to do without it? So we are going to just look through the list and we are going to pick something and we are just going to say in this particular case we are just going to pick this whole group of programs right here, the roxie group and we click one of them and you go up to the top and you say uninstall. It says are you sure and we are going to say yes. Then we are going to say this window will come up and all you have to say out loud this is the protection window to double check and see if anybody that you share the activity that you chose what you wanted to do.
