Uninstalling an RSS-reader, or simply bringing in a new one?

[michelle775]

Anyone here knowing a good way to uninstall an RSS-reader? Last year I
added the free Izynews reader to my Outlook Express mail. It worked
fine for some time and then stalled because of "too high number of new
feeds" (?? I had not been very expansive at all in demanding new rss
feeds...

The company can no longer be contacted and their homepage seems to be
kind of down (I get "no permission to see this page" when I click on
their icon). I'd like to uninstall Izynews fully to bring in another
newsreader, but this doesn't seem possible. The addon isn't even
visible in the programs directory on my pc, and doesn't appear in the
menu list of programs either (and this isn't because I've been flimsy,
I do keep track of the software that I download...)

Does anyone here know a plugin that will clean Outlook (in this case
Outlook Express) of newsreader add-ons without making any trouble when
you install a new one? Or can I simply keep the more or less defunct
Izynews reader (i can still open the messages and articles that were
there when it stopped working) and bring in a new and better RSS reader?

Try the "Windows Installer Clean Up Utility". That might be able to
remove it (just google the term).
If you don't mind the add-in being there, you can just add any other RSS
reader add-in. The add-in cannot have a monopoly on being the RSS
reader, so two of them shouldn't be a problem.
