pre-installed "Online Services" folder on XP

Friday, February 09, 2007

My new HP came with pre-installed "Easy Internet Signup" intended, I'm sure, to help with easy early-on connections to e.g., Earthlink, AOL, Netscape, PeoplePC, MSN. I do not plan on using any of these (unless I get desperate sometime in the far-distant future). Do I truly need this (large) Online Services folder and its set of shortcuts? If not, how may I go about *safely* deleting the whole kit and kaboodle?

Click Start and then click Control Panel then click the Add/Remove Programs icon. You should then see a list of the programs that are installed on your PC. You can then safely uninstall these unwanted programs through this screen. You can also remove any shortcut icons on your desktop that you don't want. If you remove just the icon, it won't uninstall the program. To completely remove the program you'll have to do it through the Control Panel as explained before.
