You may only have shortcuts on your desktop to get you to the 
installation of Money and Works. If so, they can simply be deleted. 
However, check your 'add/remove' list in 'control panel'. If Money and 
Works are listed, you can highlight each and select 'remove'. I have 
never encountered any negative operational effects on the OS caused by 
removing them.

Power DVD can also be likewise removed and Windows Media Player will 
play the DVD's. I assume you have at least XP as an OS with Windows 
Media Player installed. I believe the latest version is 11.

I was told that it may be unsafe since sometimes programs that were already in the computer when you buy them are necessary to run the computer properly? It doesn't make sense to me but I am not that computer literate.
