| | How do I uninstall Microsoft Games in Windows Vista? Thanks to 'Dave' I've already done the following: Quote: > Start - Control Panel - Programs and Features - > in the left pane, "Turn Windows features on or off" > (continue) > (wait a while) > click on the + beside Games > uncheck the games > OK How can I delete or completely uninstall the games? I've almost decided to delete the folder. Will it do any harm if I delete the 'microsoft game' folder? I admit I am addicted to these "time waster" games and I know I am NOT ALONE! Thank you! |

But I appreciate your attempt and thanks for trying to help! I want to UNINSTALL so that the games cannot be turned on by anyone, including myself.  |

Perhaps I am missing something? Or perhaps there is a link on that page I missed (I looked at every one that seemed viable) But I still didn't see anything about UN-installing the Microsoft Games. I would really appreciate it if you could explain what steps you're referring to. Thank you, for your response. |

| | Re: How do I uninstall Microsoft Games in Windows Vista? Ah. That sounds more like you would need to use Group Policy to limit that. It is something I will have to look into further, but you can limit what people can and cannot install. But, the Windows Features (as far as I know) are on there for everyone. The option to install can be forbidden by the admin, though. I'll look into it and let you know what I find out. -- Dustin Harper dharper@xxxxxx http://www.vistarip.com new-to-this wrote: Quote: > "Universe_JDJ" wrote: Quote: >> If you actually read the article, it provided the steps to reach the >> dialog where you can uninstall the games. > I went back to read the article AGAIN, and AGAIN I found nothing about > UN-installing the Microsoft Games.
