When trying to uninstall Incredimail from control panel I get this message.

You need to have Administrator or Power User priveleges in order to
uninstall Incredimail. For assistance, contact your System Administrator.
Under users it shows my account as the administrator account. It is a home
computer so there isn't a System Administrator. Is there a way to get around
this to uninstall the program?

Try logging in as the full Administrator then try removing the application.
Click start > type CMD, right click it, click 'Run as Administrator'

at the command prompt type: Net user administrator /active:yes

log out and log into it and remove the application. To disable the
Administrator account, log back into your regular account, follow the same
procedures to open CMD and type back the following at the command prompt

Net user administrator /active:no
