>>>Hi Len,
>>You can actually remove the items from the Start menu by

>>and selecting Delete. Or you can right click on the
task
>>bar, select Properties, Start menu tab, Customize, then
>>find Start menu in the listing. From there, you can
>>delete items that you do not wish to see. However,
since
>>you are also seeing the items in control panel, there
are
>>registry entries that were added when the software was
>>installed. These can be removed manually from the
>>registry, but if you haven't done this before, you may
>>wish to call support for assistance. The other
>>alternative as you mentioned is reinstalling the
software
>>and using the uninstall choices.
