2. From within the Control Panel, open Add Remove Programs.
3. Highlight Iomega Tools for Windows 95/NT and click on Add/Remove.
4. Restart your computer.

If you are using Windows 3.1x...

If you used install.exe to install the Iomega Tools software, use the DOS section. If you used setup.exe to install the Iomega Tools software, use the Windows section.

5. Remove the line C:\Ziptools_31\Guest.exe.
6. Select File then Exit and save the changes when prompted.
