Removal of Built-in Windows Mail

[Helroy]

Hi,
Since I'm using components (Programs) of Windows Live Essentials,
is there a way to remove all the Vista built-in stuff like:

Windows mail and News
Windows Photo Galery
Windows Calendar and Windows Contacts.

Gets confusing after a while.

No, they are a part of Windows. They also function better and use less
memory than their Live counterparts. I wouldn't want to get rid of them
if I could. If I was going to get rid of one or the other it would be
Windows Live.

Thanks for the info.
Will take your comments under consideration.

Yes you can.
You have to go into Security/Permissions and set your account to 'Full
Control".
Then you can delete any Windows folder.

It is dangerous and I won't exaplain how todo it, I just say this much:
it takes a moment or maybe 20 minutes to destroy any folder.

I for example deleted Windows Moviemaker nonsense, gained some space and
simplifying filesystem/reducing filecount always speeds up overall system.
But I am too lazy to explain what todo in detail, if I Googled for it, you
can too.

Well it sounds like you're plugging Windows 7, but why anyone with a modicum
of concern for privacy would prefer an online calendar to a local one is
beyond me.

I guess it makes it easier for Big Brother to follow all of our weekly
movements.
