Re: Massive Application Uninstall

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

You could write a script, which when executed at login can run the programs
"uninstall" program, but that's only going to work as good as the uninstall
program that is if it runs in silent mode with a config file with
predetermined answers. If it asks questions during the uninstall then
you're shot as I don't think you'd want your user community to make those
kinds of decisions.
You could also "remote" into each machine and uninstall it, using remote
desktop.
