I'm too much a beginner. I want to uninstall Freenet and leave it to the
experts. I'm running Windows XP with substantially more than the minimum system
requirements. I haven't succeeded in getting my installation up and running.
However, Freenet isn't even listed on the Add/Remove page, and
It sounds like you have freenet running. Do you have any icons of freenet visible in the tray? If none then do a ctrl-alt-del and and check for anything that resembles freenet and delete them from Windows Task Manager. Exit Windows Task Manager and try deleting the freenet Folder.
