About Removing my search
I just got my fantastic new dell yesterday and have been busy removing all of the bobo "media experience" type programs that I don't need or want taking up all of my precious memory. however when I removed the program "My Way Search Assistant" (via "Add or Remove Programs") it remained in the dialog box, sans "remove" button. this bothered me. I couldn't find any worthwhile help online about this so I'm writing this here in the hopes that it helps some other people. here are my conclusions & fix to the problem... 1. removing the program via "Add or Remove Programs" actually does remove it, but leftover registry keys are holding on for dear life... not for long! 2. this is different then the windows "Search Assistant", which I believe is the dog thing that you can get rid of by going to search and "change preferences" and clicking "without an animated screen character". I wish they included a "kill animated screen character" button too but I take what I can get. 3. therefore, I did the following and it worked for me: back up the registry, then run regedit and search for "search assistant" - you'll likely find several results but on my machine there was only a few that had to do with the "my way" search assistant, and they were in here: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Installer HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer you can also try searching for this - 7D449D87B79A4004BAA05BDA60389904 - because this seems to be the identifying key, value, or number, or whatever. maybe it's different for other machines, I don't know. at any rate, I deleted these keys that were located in the various "installer" locations and bingo, it's gone from the "add/remove programs" and my computer is ok with that. I'm ok with that too. best of luck!

Need to use the device at work. Note If you enrolled your device into the MDM system to access departmental applications, you will lose access to these applications once you unenroll your device. Q. What is the difference between choosing PIN Lock on the My Devices portal or doing it directly from my device? A. PIN Lock is available only if your company has integrated with an MDM system and if this feature is supported by your MDM system and mobile device. Mobile devices typically include a locking feature that enables you to lock your screen after a set time period to prevent unauthorized access. To use this feature, you must define an access code, or PIN, which is required to unlock the device. If you do not enable this locking feature on your mobile device, you cannot lock your device using PIN Lock from the My Devices Portal. If this feature is enabled, you can use the PIN Lock feature from the My Devices portal to immediately lock your phone remotely. So, if you lose the device, you can prevent others from using it. However, you cannot set your PIN from the My Devices portal; you must set a PIN on your mobile device in advance to use this feature.
