How Do I Uninstall Outlook Express From My Windows XP Gateway Desktop?
Outlook Express is a software application included with the Windows operating system for users to retrieve email for free without purchasing an expensive application package. However, if the user already has an email client, he can remove Outlook Express to free up some room on the hard drive. Outlook Express does not display in the “Add/Remove Programs” section in the Control Panel, so users need to run the uninstall option from the setup command. Click the Windows Start button and select “Run.” In the text box displayed, enter the following command: C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\setup50.exe /app:oe uninstall /prompt Click “Ok” when the prompt asks you to confirm deletion of the application. It may take several minutes for the wizard to remove Outlook from your machine. Reboot your computer when prompted. Outlook Express has files embedded in the Windows operating system, so a reboot is required for the changes to take effect.
