I've just switched over from XP and have been problems with uninstalling programs off the Mac (osx tiger). In XP there would normally be a control panel which would show a list of programs on your computer which you could either modify or uninstall. There doesn't appear to be one in mac osx so I decided to drag the file from the applications folder to the trash. It appeared as though everything was fine until I ran a search in spotlight to still find some of the files still on my computer. I was uninstalling Limewire if this helps. I would like to rid my computer of everything associated to this program.
What is the proper way to uninstall programs?
Another question I have is about the dmg files which appear on the desktop. Whenever I double click these, a hard drive like icon appears. I then go in there and drag the icon of the program onto my applications folder. After that I unmount and delete everything (dmg file and hard drive like icon) off the desktop. Is this fine?
Anyway thanks for reading
