Vista Home Premium Missing Windows Components Add/Remove
I'm trying to remove windows components in the add/remove programs area, but there is no option for it in there. Any ideas on how to get it back so i can remove Windows Mail?

thanks in advance

In the Control panel, you will find "Uninstall a program" listed in the "Programs" group.

Windows Mail is NOT listed in the Vista Control panel.

The "Add/Remove Programs" of previous Windows versions is now "Programs and Features" in Vista. That applet includes "Turn Windows features on or off," which is similar to the previous "Windows components."

Windows Mail, like its predecessor Outlook Express, cannot be removed in any approved manner.
