WebCD Globe Uninstalling the WebCD Viewer


Choosing Uninstall WebCD Viewer from the WebCD Viewer Program Folder or Group removes any icons, folders/groups, or software installed onto the hard drive by WebCD Viewer. However, the Program Folder or Group is only removed if it is empty. Therefore, if you place the WebCD Viewer icon into a Program Folder/Group with other software or application icons, only the WebCD Viewer icons will be removed.

Multi-User Environments (NT or some Windows 95 systems)

In a multi-user environment like Windows NT or some Windows 95 systems (if configured for multi-user), uninstall will remove the WebCD Viewer icons and groups from the current user's profile, but will not delete the WebCD Viewer software until the last WebCD Viewer user on the machine runs the uninstall.

For example:

Bullet User A installs a WebCD. The desktop icon, program folders, and software are installed on the PC (see Installing the WebCD Viewer for more information on what is installed).

Bullet User B installs a WebCD. A desktop icon and program folders are set up for User B. User B's WebCD Viewer program group points to the existing WebCD Viewer software and help file.

Bullet User C installs a WebCD. A desktop icon and program folders are set up for User C. User C's WebCD Viewer program group points to the existing WebCD Viewer software and help file.

Bullet Then, at some point in the future, User B uninstalls the WebCD Viewer. The desktop icon and program folders are removed from User B's profile.

Bullet When User A runs uninstall, User A's desktop icon and program folders are removed.

Bullet When User C runs uninstall, the desktop icon, program folders, and the WebCD Viewer software are removed from the PC.
