Okay this should really be simple but it's confusing me.
I want to remove some of the installed Windows components. I go into Add/Remove programs and bring up the Windows Programs.
I see a list of programs, some have check marks next to them and some of them don't. I understand that if I don't have something installed and want to install it that I just put a check next to it and install it. But what about removing?
Lets say I want to remove GAMES. There is a line that says Accessories and Utilities and it has a check mark next to it. If I click on details for it, I see 2 more line items. Accessories with a check mark and Games with a check mark. I'm assuming the check mark next to games means that it's currently installed. Do I just remove the check to uninstall it or do I keep it there to uninstall it?
I don't want to remove everything from the list and I don't want to install things that I don't want. Since there doesn't seem to be an ADD button or a REMOVE button, it seems like I just have to go through the entire list removing/adding check marks then click next to do everything at once. This is where I get confused I guess.
Hopefully someone understands what I'm saying and can help me out.
Thanks.
