First create a Restore point. Then if you need to roll back you will lose nothing from any other work that has been done on your computer. Many programs leave all kinds of things behind when removed. Could be lazy or incompetent programmers, some files could be deliberate to check year over year. This is where programs like Ccleaner shine, their job is to locate these orphan files. Personally I would remove all but the 2 below - if I bothered at all. 3 No reference to Intuit as I can see. 16 Caution. While it may well be Intuit it appears likely an HP printer file. Possibly for Intuit but can you be certain? There will likely be no adverse effect from the things left behind, they are much like that old coat or shoes left in the closet.

You can go to C/Program Files/ and delete whatever folder it is. It'll leave invalid registry keys in the registry, but they can be cleaned up with CCleaner or other registry cleaner.

IE 7 is your browser what we need is what windows version are you using like is it xp or vista? This is how you get to the add remove programs area. Start> control panel> add remove programs double click that to open the add remove programs area, wait while it completes the list, then you will see the list of all things on your pc, should you want to delete or remove an item then click on that item to highlight it, on the far right a button will appear that says change/remove or something similar that is the button you want to select to delete the item, it will pop up asking are you certain you want to delete this item if you are sure then click yes and it will begin the removal process. You DO have to be logged in on an administrator account to be able to do this task.

do not panic every thing will ask you that it is just the fail safe to make sure you did not click something accidentally. If it is a program you no longer use or need then go ahead and remove it. YOU must remove it totally you do not want bits and pieces left behind any more than it already does because that can cause conflicts and problems. which is why some programs have additional specific removal tools built for them. Such as McAfee and Norton, for those you do the regular add remove programs then from their website get and use their specific removal tool to get the bits and pieces then you still have to go through and delete some of the left behind folders. but for most ordinary programs add remove does a good job. If you do not know what it is then don't delete it with out doing some serious googling on it to see what it is. If you know what it is and don't use it anymore then just do it. And remember to empty that recycle bin. It will give you room back on your hard drive and depending on how crowded your hd is that could be beneficial, it may or may not speed up your pc. Things that help there would be looking in your startup menu and seeing exactly what is starting up when the computer boots, many times there are things in there that do not have to start up at bootup. but that is a place you definitely need to do some research on what each of the .exe listed there controls. The thing that will speed up your pc most is adding RAM memory if you can and since it is pretty cheap and easy to do it is the best way to breathe new life in to the pc. AND make sure you open the side of the pc(disconnected from power) and clean out those dust bunnies on a regular basis. PS in add remove do NOT remove any of the MS hotfixes or updates.
