How do I remove it ?

Why do you need to remove it? It won't load unless you actually click on it, or you try & open a file that has it set as the default app to open it with. And as for disk space, it's a very small program -- 6MB total -- that won't even make a CD-ROM blink, let alone a BD-ROM, flash drive, or your main drive.

Is there a particular reason why you want to remove it?

Thanks for helping me. Being in my mid eighties, I find things are sometimes a little difficult ! Regards clicking on it, when I want to open a photo the mspaint always comes up. Apart from that I've tried a previous suggestion whereby I go into Control/Add and Rem.....but no Win Setup tab is shown ! I have been using a photo editing program for years using XP3 Pro but since building a new PC with Win7 Pro and having my old trusted NCH program loaded correctly, it just isn't available. Perhaps mspaint can be 'hidden ? Thank you again and my kind regards Derek Miles in the UK.

If there are particular picture files that you want your old program to open instead of the Paint program, and the other program is installed on your Windows 7 PC, you can right-click on the image file, click on "Open With...", then select the program from the list of suggested programs. If it's not on the list, there should be a "Browse..." or other button that lets you specify a particular program.

Very grateful to you for the explanation, having followed your advice, I appear to have the answer. Again my thanks.
