She also is not listed in the Contol Panel. I asked the person who made her but they blew me off. F'n fascists.

1. Simple.
Wipe all the jazz mp3s from your hard drive. :P

3. Find where it lives, and delete it.

5. Not too hard.
Delete the folder containing the program.
Run a registry cleaning/defragging program.
Most have 3 levels of files to delete... green, automatically deleted... yellow, require user review and red, which only you can check to delete.

Somewhere in that list of registry entries to delete will be files associated with your program.
Unless, of course, the program was self-contained and didn't write anything to the registry when it was installed(which probably explains the lack of an uninstall option).

Good luck.

9. Also, this one: "What is the sound of one hand clapping?"
That's a cool one though. So Zen and the Art of Computer Maintenance.
