Uninstalling Windows Desktop Search Raven Mill 08-22-2006

Okay...simple question, but beyond what I want to GUESS at...

I am trying to uninstall Windows Desktop Search, as it's really more of an
annoyance to me than a helper...

When doing so through Add/Remove Programs, as usual, it gives me a warning
saying <a rather long list of apps that I use> may no longer work if I
uninstall Windows Desktop Search.

First of all...What's up with that?

Secondly: How do I get rid of Windows Desktop Search and not lose my
applications?

I'm waiting to see if anyone has any [good] suggestions, like maybe that
"no, you won't lose those apps if you uninstall Windows Desktop Search"
before I DO uninstall it.

Thanx in Advance...

Because WDS received updates, when you uninstall it tells you that it may
impact on other updated programs. Unless those programs use WDS, it's not
an issue.

hth,
