How do I uninstall Windows Mail?

For the past week I have been getting errors upon bootup involving Windows
Mail and Contacts. I installed Windows Live Mail as some recommended on
here, but it doesn't seem to uninstall Windows Mail in the process and I'm
still getting the error messages. How do I get rid of it? Thanks

You can't uninstall Windows Mail. If you don't want to use it, remove all
accounts from it.

All the accounts have been removed. The problem is that Windows Live Mail
seems to have removed certain key files for the contacts and two of the .DLL
files. Windows Mail loads at bootup whether its being used or not. Without
those missing or corrupt files it will continue to give the 4 error messages.
Isn't there some way I can find the executable and delete it?

Hi Rick,

You might take a look at your Startup programs list and see if Windows Mail or Contacts is listed. If so, remove them. Method one in this tutorial will show you how to do it.

Startup Programs - Enable or Disable
