Highlight it, delete it. (you sure you checked control panel>>add/remove programs for the old ISP ) On Tuesday, December 30, 2003 at 1:30 pm, Cheryl wrote: >Hi, I have an ISP that came pre-installed on my computer, which I no longer use. > Since it was already on the computer, there is no "uninstall" option available. > I was wondering how to go about uninstalling the files, as well as deleting the >e-mail address in Outlook Express, for which I no longer remember the password. > >Thanks, Cheryl [Reply or follow-up to this message] re: Uninstalling an old ISP Tuesday, December 30, 2003 at 8:35 pm Posted by Cheryl (2 messages posted) Hi, thanks for the quick responses. I checked control panel>>add/remove programs, but the ISP is not on the list for some reason. I thought it wouldn't work to just delete it out of programs, but I'll go that route. I will also, try to directly remove the unused account from Outlook. The last time I tried, it asked for a password, which I didn't remember. I've heard it's difficult to retrieve passwords from the hard drive. Thanks again!

Then >>start>>run & type in regedit >>edit>> find & type in account name>>>search When found, delete key value & search for next (there should be 6 keys found which need to be deleted) On Tuesday, December 30, 2003 at 8:35 pm, Cheryl wrote: >Hi, thanks for the quick responses. > >I checked control panel>>add/remove programs, but the ISP is not on the list for >some reason.
