Uninstall windows mail from windows 7

[darcim]

Hi all, I have installed windows mail on my windows 7 and worked great!
Now i have reversed the procedure to unistall windows mail from windows 7 and reinstalled the windows 7 mail folder to get it back to original, that also worked great.
BUT I had put a windows mail short cut on my desktop which was still there.
I opened it and BAM i was receiving emails through windows mail (which I did not want to happen).
I deleted the short cut.
Now there is a windows mail icon on bottom right corner of screen that I cannot open or delete or anything.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated, Thanks!

Hi and yes the task bar at bottom right screen, i checked out the links you said, but cannot hide the mail icon and why is it still able to down load my emails when i have removed windows mail from windows 7 ?
Would i have to delete it from the registry

I thought you said you reinstalled it?

I reinstalled the windows 7 mail folder and deleted the windows mail folder.
I want to put win 7 back to the way it was.

No I did it manually by right click properties and took over permissions etc.
Lol looks like I did it the hard way!

Oh well you did it anyway.

It sure sounds like you haven't uninstalled it. How about if you uninstall it and don't put the other one back yet, Then run CCleaner to clean it up on the registry tab, If you don't have it here's the link CCleaner - Home then restart. and see if that gets rid of it.

You're very welcome. So did you get it back to how you wanted it?

 

[darcim]

Yes it`s back to the way I want it. We have 3 computers in the house and we view our email on our ISP so windows mail was not a good option. I installed it only to see if it worked as I had a friend that wanted it back on their computer running win7. (Last time i use my computer for a testing ground)
Thanks again

I think you should run this, http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1538-sfc-scannow-command-system-file-checker.html?ltr=S to see if it will fix your corrupt files, then you can try again.
Let us know how that works.

You have to right click to open command in "Run as adminisrator" then OK, Then type sfc /scannow, then enter. It will take a few minutes to finish.

Well my next suggestion would be to completely uninstall windows live essentials, use
Revo Uninstaller - Free software downloads and software reviews - CNET Download.com Then try to reinstall what you want back.
