removing a program from Vista Home Edition

Hi,
I have just moved to Vista from XP and I want to remove a program I
installed but am replacing - I use to go to Control Panel in XP and it had an
Add or Remove Programs button but in Vista control panel it seems to only
have Add Hardware but nowhere can I find a Remove Program button - can anyone
advise?

Many thanks
Simon

When you select the item (highlight it) the "Uninstall" button should appear
at the top of the window...

You will find the same facility available by using the 'Programs and
Features' icon in Control Panel..

Another way in is to open Control Panel Home View Under "Programs" select
"Uninstall a program" which takes you to the new version of Add-Remove
Programs.
