    Go to the Add/Remove Programs tool in Control Panel. If those programs aren't listed, then those are just icons that can be deleted. If they are listed, use the Add/Remove to get rid of them. If they aren't listed, you can just delete the icons - clidk the icon to highlight it then press the Delete key. You might want to see what the icons point to in the Right Click > Properties of each icon and delete whatever the icon points to (called the Target) as well (probably some sort of setup or install program).
