I'm in the process of cleaning up unused programs from my computer, many of which have been preloaded by the manufacturer but have never been installed. Because they aren't installed, they don't show up in the Add/Remove Software window. For instance, I don't want to have to install Norton Antivirus in order to delete it. FYI, Norton shows up in the D drive which is the protected restore files are. I'd rather not allow it to get it embedded inside the computer that it already is. Is there a way to delete programs which haven't been installed?

Windows XP, SP2

Thanks in advance,

Richard P.
