re: Question about 'How do I install, remove, or re-install one of the components that came with Windows?' Tuesday, June 3, 2003 at 1:32 pm Posted by jack hall (308 messages posted) It's not in add/remove progams. Use the next tab, windows setup. You'll find it there. Unclick it. If you still have problems. Go to find files/folders. Under c:\ type in outlook express, and delete all the files you find for outlook express to the recycle bin.

However, Windows Setup indicated Outlook Express was NOT installed. I checked the install box, installed, and then went back to the Windows Setup and uninstalled Outlook Express. The uninstall seems to have cleaned up most of the Outlook Express registry entries, but it did not actually remove any files from the Outlook Express folder. Guess thats a manual task. Here's hoping this redueces Win98 crashes (Notes conflicts?).

You would still have to delete them manually by going thru the folders & files thing I mentioned.

You can find it using google. It's very easy to use, but remember to get another browser first. It really removes it, and you won't have an option to re-install it through windows. It really speeds up an old computer too!
