Well, most of the time, if you use tweakui (available at fine downloading facilities, such as download.com and others), you can "disable" the icon (doesn't delete it, but it isn't shown.) This also works well with icons such as "neighborhood network" and "recycle bin".

Hope this helps,

I have found the way to uninstall and
delete the icon of the Bonzi Buddy.
Go to control panel(from settings)
Double click on add\remove icon
click on Bonzi Buddy and then click
remove. Then make sure you click
"no to all" If you click anything
else it may erase the whole file.
I went to Bonzi Buddy Online support.
com to find this. Hope it helps!

Bonzi buddy is a drag, and my system is getting slower. I deleted the program and it magically reappears. I dlete the Icon and I still get messages.

How does it integrate into the system. I am close to just reformatting everything.

Does anyone kow how to totally eliminate Bonzi Buddy?

Their site has no phone number or contact.

My easy access buttons don't work except for the E-mail. The only way I can get to my search engines is to go to E-Mail first and then Msn, and then to Home. THe sight my calender is on is gone unless I type in the address. When I get the enable easy access box the restore original setting choice is not availableable. I only get The internet sight is not available when I try the buttons.
