Let me quickly uninstall your application if I want to

Just about every piece of software if not all software that we install on our computers come with some kind of uninstall program which uninstalls that piece of software for us. Now to save us the user some time, normally included in the start menu for the software is a “Uninstall” option which allows us to quickly uninstall the software.

This is great as it reduces the time it takes us firstly loading up Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel (which can take quite a while if you have a lot of software) and secondly finding the software which we installed. Although recently some software/games which I’ve installed don’t include this Uninstall option in the start menu of the software. Maybe the software/game is so great that you shouldn’t bother uninstalling it as you’ll have no reason to use the computer anymore? I don’t know… that’s the best I could think of.

The next issue I have with some uninstallers is that they ask you to restart your computer. I mean it might be necessary for software which modifies your system files and restores them back to normal but for general software and games it’s not really necessary at all. Don’t waste the user’s time if it’s not necessary.
