How to Uninstall Programs Without a CD-ROM

Windows allows you to add your own software for your specific needs. This includes productivity, gaming, communications and creative software that let you get your work done and your play on. At times, however, you may want to do the reverse. Uninstalling software that you do not use is a wise move since it frees up disk space. Most of the time, you do not need a CD-ROM to perform the task.
