    How do I remove individual programs? In the Add / Remove Programs, I only see Windows Essentials.

    I wanted to remove Live Movie Maker and Live Messenger, but not Live Mail.

    Have you tried dragging them into a thing called "Trash Bin"?

    What trash bin?

    Like I said, there are no individual things for Windows Essentials' programs, just Windows Essentials itself.

    I've got:
    • Windows Live Mail
    • Windows Live Messenger
    • Windows Live Movie Maker

    I would completely have to uninstall Windows Essentials to get them uninstalled, but I want to keep Windows Live Mail.

    You can choose which ones you want to uninstall when you hit "Uninstall" on Windows Essentials. A window should pen up asking if you want to remove one or more programs from it. From there you can pick and choose which to keep/toss.

    Im pretty sure every Windows has a trash bin icon on the desktop. Unless Im mistaken. Otherwise, try what Plums says.

    I guess I didn't make it obvious enough. XD That reply basically said this could be locked. :)
