How do I uninstall WL Essentials????

I would like to go back to the original Windows Live Mail, the one with the
icons and no online synchronization. I tried to uninstall "WL Essentials"
through Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs and then clicking on Remove
Essentials. A brief blink and NOTHING happens.

This REALLY bugs me as it is MY computer and now MS decides I cannot
uninstall, the software, not good!!. I tried to uninstall Essentials on my
laptop, same brief blink and NOTHING.

How can I get rid of Essentials and back to just a desktop email client as
WLM was?

Thanks,

Wolfgang

For the installation did you use the web installer or the full installer version ?
Rerun it and deselect the options when prompted.
