WordPerfect 5.1 DOS isn't listed in Add/Remove Programs, and I can't find any
Uninstall.exe or Unwise.exe file. I won't be using this program again and
want to remove it from my computer. Should I simply highlight the entire
folder in Windows Explorer and delete it and then delete the shortcut from my
desktop? Thank you.

Since it's a DOS application you can simply delete its folder. It's Windows
applications that have registry entries and files in the System32 folder,
which therefore require an uninstall tool.

Thank you for a clear and speedy answer.

BTW, the link e-mailed to me didn't work, led only to a blank white window.
I had to navigate back here to the Discussion Group to read it.
