uninstalling Front Row
I installed Front Row on a mac that didn't come with it, it broke Spot Light, now I want Front Row gone. I would like to know an alternative to removing Front Row besides reinstalling Tiger.

drag it to the trash and then empty it. Open your Library folder on both your user account and you hard drive and open Application support if you see anything named front row and delete it. If that doesn't do the trick you can just archive and install the OS it will keep all your files and settings. Also look in the contextual items folder for front row stuff

front row isn't an "application" it is built in to the core of the operating system

I enjoy a good flaming, thanks

also

Delete Front Row (/System/Library/CoreServices/Front Row.app)
Delete the preference file (/System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.frontrow.plist)
Remove any Login Items that launch Front Row (System Preferences >Accounts >User >Login Items)
Disable any shortcuts managed by third-party applications that launched Front Row.
And then archinve and install.
