= SUMMARY =

In Microsoft Bob, when you attempt to delete a program icon from a room, a confirmation balloon appears after you click the Delete squishy. This balloon states that if you continue, the program will be deleted from your home. However, this is not the case. If you choose to continue, this will delete the program icon only in the room where you are currently located. This process will not delete other icons for the same program that are located in different rooms.

For example, you may have icons for a clock or a calendar in several rooms. If you delete the clock icon in one room, the clock icon in the other rooms remains.

= MORE INFORMATION =

If you have multiple icons for the same program in a single room, to completely remove the program from the room, you need to delete each icon one at a time.

To remove a program icon from a room, do the following:


 * 1) Click the program icon that you want to delete.
 * 2) Choose the Change It squishy.
 * 3) Choose the Delete squishy.
 * 4) Click the Delete It button (that is, the button with the green check mark).
