I have Windows XP Home Edition and would like to delete Outlook Express. I go to the folder and delete all the files, but seconds later they all reappear. I'm sure that's Windows repairing itself, but I don't use Outlook Express and don't intend to ever use it so I'd like to free up the disk space.

Is there a way?

Thanks in advance,

bruce webb

At the control pannel double-click on add/remove programs and uninstall the outlook.

Simply clicking on the folder does not delete the whole program Also if that does not work, go to RUN and delete its key from the Registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\OutlookExpress\Uninstall
