Explorer has the "install on demand" option and I installed something that ruined my computer and messed up some options which I can't fix unless I can unistall whatever was installed. Is there a way to uninstall that "install on demand" software?

It may sound simple, but can you use system restore. It is located @
start>programs>accessories>system tools>system restore.
Follow the instructions and choose a date before your problems.
You will also lose anything else you've done in the interim, but you should also lose the problem program.

ME COMES WITH 'RESTORE' FUNCTION BUT MAY BE DEACTIVATED ON START-UP. IF YOU REACTIVATE IT BE SURE TO VIST MS WEBSITE FOR A PATCH TO FIX A KNOWN ISSUE WITH IT
