Hi Guys and Gals
Whats the rite way to remove Windows programs from the start menue.
Like windows Mail , I can't use it because we have http mail and I use live
mail.
Is it ok to just right click and delete or is it associated with something
else ?
Thanks for any help.

Just right-click on the item and select whatever remove option is offer e.g.
"Remove form this list". The left item menu has two parts. The top part is
"pinned" items - so you will want to un-pin them and the lower is a dynamic
list of more recently / more often used items.

P.S. The browser and email app can be set in the "Properties" of the Start
menu:

Right-click on the Start button > select Properties > hit the "Customize"
button > in the lower section of the sheet you can set your "Internet link"
and "E-mail link" with the checkboxes and drop-down lists > click any
necessary OKs etc.

Every time I've installed Windows Live Mail it has taken over the Email icon
on the Start menu. It should do the same if you set it as the default mail
program.
