Default Re "How to remove windows live"

This thread SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN CLOSED (IMHO) - that was not a sufficient answer.

The answer is that although you can't actually remove the application as it is pre-installed in the ROM, you can remove the shortcut icon from your start screen by using file explorer to browse to \windows\start menu\programs and delete any icon shortcuts in there that you don't want. The start screen is full of icons I never use, and I always delete them to make the screen more useable.
You can also move icons around the start screen - if you are on wm6.5, click and hod the icon then select 'move to top' to move it up the screen. If you are on 6.5.5, vlivk and hold the icon then drag it to where you want it to be.

Hope this helps.
