Top post to keep this thread rational.
The fact that OOo doesn't appear in the Add/Remove Programs list proves
that it hasn't actually been installed but that the OP has unpacked the
download file into her My Documents folder.

It looks to me like you're talking about the downloaded installfiles
for OOo. After you installed OOo to your computer you can savely
remove these or move them to any medium you like (usb/cd/dvd).

Hi Joe
Below is a reply I just sent to a Brian who replied to my email. I
have no
idea how all those files go where they are. I do not change places. I
let
Windows put them where it they should go. I have sent you an
attachment to
show what it looks like in "My Documents"
<<I am so sorry! I should know better. I am using windows XP Sp3
I have gone to control panel add remove programs and it is not there!
I am
not a computer nerd but I do have some basic knowledge. I would consider
myself and advanced beginner/beginner intermediate, if there is such a
classification/category.>>
Please help!

You can unstall OOo just the same as any other windows program. I am
puzzled, the program does not install in your "My Documents" folder
unless you expressly chose that folder during your initial installation.

Please respond to the users list only.
I have no further ideas, and I am wondering if OpenOffice even will
run on her machine. If it is not
even listed in the control panel/add remove software.
If it does not run, then I suppose I would delete the unwanted files,
even though generally I do not
recommend this for a windows user. What ever happened to the
undelete choice that used to be
available from START - PROGRAM FILES - OPENOFFICE - Uninstall? I no
longer have it as an opiton
in my OOo3.0.0.
Anyone else want to give it a shot?
