So I ran Outlook Express earlier in the week to try and figure out some SMTP settings for an account I'm using. I hadn't used it before and once I was done I wanted to get rid of it. Lo and behold, you can't directly uninstall it. After 2 hours using search engines, I find out which dlls to remove and what registry keys to delete. I still can't delete the folder that Outlook is in, but that's ok. Every time I'd delete the program, Windows would put the program back. WTF?
Eventually everything was settled, except for the login screen, which was telling me how many emails I had unread. I came across this post that shows how to get rid of that dumb reminder.
It's enough to make you switch to Macs.
