You could uncheck the option for the network connection

Start > ncpa.cpl

Right-click connection > Properties > Networking (tab)

Thanks I have unticked it but it still says in connection status window
'ipv6 connectivity Limited' so I wanted to uninstall it totally if I could.

Thanks.

You can't uninstall it from Vista. It is integral to the operating system.
In a year or so you will be happy that it's implementation is built-in.

Really? - time will tell ;-)

Vista is really the equivalent of 'a Nanny State' when it wont let you mess
around and remove what you want. - its like things are 'forced' onto users
whether they like it or not.

Thanks,

Andy.

Were you forced into buying your copy?

Yes someone held a gun to my head :-) - its not the point whether I was
forced or not. What other alternative have you got out there as an OS apart
from Linux? -

Andy.

Vita uses IPV6 for several utilities including Windows Meeting Space and
local connectivity. Keep in mind that more and more sites will be using 6
vice 4 to provide adequate addresses. It is not a Microsoft "thing" but a
network standard.

Very nice and all that but my issue is that they never built into this OS
that the end user can uninstall it if they want to (ell, not to my
knowledge).

Andy.

Seeing as how it is a coming, irrevocable standard that everyone will use,
why would *anyone* want to "uninstall" it. That would be so foolish. You may
need it for that web site next week.
