Windows Sidebar, Windows Photo Gallery, Windows Collaboration and Windows
Journal are all Windows. I think it would be copyright infrindgement for HP
or Gateway to put these things on my computer and use the Windows tradmark
name.

I find HP naming it's things HP Health Check, HP Info Center, HP Modem, etc.
I'm not complaining, I'm only asking this board, not you, if there is a way
to safely remoe these things from my computers.

So if you don't have an answer for me that addresses my issue of "how do I
safely remove these items from my computers" why don't you give it address so
someone else might be able to answer me.

I'm not complaining, I'm asking this board if anyone knows a way to remove
safely Windows Sidebar, Windows Photo Gallery, Windows Collaboration and
Windows Journal are all Windows?
Respectfully,
Bill Patterson
