Neither of these, and I suspect much of what else you are complaining
about, has anything to do with Vista. These were probably installed by
the company you bought your computer from.

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

Again, the operating system protects itself from people removing vital
components. Just turn them off and don't use them.

Richard,
You're telling me Windows Sidebar, Windows Photo Gallery, Windows
Collaboration and Windows Journal are all "Vital" to Windows Vista? I need
redundant programs I my machine to make it work. I have MS Office 2007, I
have PHotoshop, I have Nero 7, an abundance of programs I need, why do I need
duplicate types of programs for Vista's Vitality? I've been into computers
since the '60s, went to college for it, I've never heard of a sidebar, photo
gallery, journal that was Vital to an OS. Perhaps you'd like to go into depth
a bit to explain this Vital Nature to us all.
Thanks for answering,
Bill in Las Vegas
Perhaps we've come so far from bunch cards I don't understand anymore. :-)

Let me explain one thing. What is vital to the O/S, and what is protected
*BY* the O/S is what the developers deem to be so.

You can try all the old methods.

1. Uninstall windows options
2. Edit the registry
3. Delete folders and files.

Some may work - others may not.

Some may be recreated upon a reboot.

It's your computer so experiment. I am happy with my computer the way it
stands and have no intention of futzing around to remove something that I
may come to regret.
