    Turning Off At Ease
    ===================
    If you don't plan to be using At Ease in the near future, but may choose to use it again later, the best option is to simply turn it off. Here's how:

    Step 1
    ------
    Open the At Ease Setup program, and type your password

    Step 2
    ------
    Click the Off button.

    If you want At Ease 2.0 completely erased from your system, how you go about it will depend on whether you have the At Ease 2.0 Install 1 disk.

    If your Performa came with software already factory-installed, you may not have this disk. In this case, be certain to make a backup copy of At Ease 2.0 (or use Apple Backup to backup your entire hard drive with At Ease on it) before you remove At Ease from your system. Label the backup disks "At Ease 2.0." This way, you have a copy of the software in case you ever want to reinstall it.

    NOTE: Never attempt to remove At Ease without turning it off first.


    If You Have the At Ease 2.0 Install 1 Disk
    ==========================================

    Step 1
    ------
    Open the At Ease Setup Program, and type the administrator password.

    Step 2
    ------
    Click the Off button.

    Step 3
    ------
    Quit the At Ease Setup program.

    Step 4
    ------
    Insert the At Ease 2.0 Install 1 disk into the disk drive.

    Step 5
    ------
    Click the Customize button.

    Step 6
    ------
    Select At Ease.

    Step 7
    ------
    Hold down the Option key. The Install button turns into a Remove button.

    Step 8
    ------
    Click the Remove button. At Ease will be permanently removed from your system. You may reinstall it in the future using the installation disks.


    If You Do Not Have the At Ease 2.0 Install 1 Disk
    =================================================

    Step 1
    ------
    Open the At Ease Setup program, and type the administrator password.

    Step 2
    ------
    Click the Off button on the first screen.

    Step 3
    ------
    Quit the At Ease setup program.

    Step 4
    ------
    Drag the At Ease files to the Trash. The files you need to remove are:

    * the At Ease Setup program (at the main directory level of your startup hard disk)
    * the At Ease Items folder (in your System folder)
    * the At Ease file (in your System folder)
    * the At Ease Startup extension ( in the Extensions folder)

    Step 5
    ------
    Hold down the Option key while you choose Empty Trash from the Special menu.
