In the past you could go to programs and features and uninstall gallery, or
live mail or toolbar etc...

now you cant remove only one of those... how can I remove live toolbar?

Simply select Windows Live Essentials and click to un-install it. A dialog
will appear allowing you to un-install each component individually if you
require.

yes... but its one of the least intuitive ways to do that....

It reminds me of the bad GUI design of vista....

Greetings,

Besides using the interface inside the Live Essentials already mentioned, one direct way is
to run the following:
msiexec /x {2B4C7E1E-E446-4740-ADB5-9842E742EE8A}

The rest for each component can be found here:
