The prior two responses are correct. I have kept CFT self-contained and don't put any files anywhere on the hard drive except in the CFT folder. So simply deleting the entire CFT folder for Version 2 using Windows Explorer gets rid of it. I also thought that on the Start Menu - Programs - Cumberland Family Tree there will usually be an Uninstall. Use that one and all should work well. The only problem that I know of with the folder deletion approach is that the newer operating systems to end up placing any installed programs on the Install/Remove list and I am thinking that when you manually delete the program and folder as first suggested, then the program may still be showing up on that Windows install/delete list as if it were still there on the computer when it really is not. In such a case I am uncertain how one would get it off the list, but at least the program won't be taking up space on the hard drive and you can ignore the install/delete list.

One way to get rid of a redundant entry on the Windows "Add/Remove Programs" list is to use TweakUI (the Add/Remove tab). See http://www.annoyances.org/exec/show/tweakui Ciarán Ó Duibhín.
