    Default WIN8.1 query on START program removals?

    I downloaded Piccsa the other day to be able to edit some pictures and I got this offer to use Google to back up any pictures which I ignored.
    Now every time I turn the computer on, this damn offer appears and I want to stop or remove it but I am lost as to where to turn it off in WIN8.1 so can any one help me please?
    I stand unequivicably behind everything I say , I just dont ever remember saying it !!

    Find it in the Metro screen.
    Right click and select uninstall.

    Or Uninstall from 'Programs and Features' in the Control Panel.

    Thanks Whiteox, that got rid of it !!!

    I was fairly good in '95, reasonable in '98, fair in XP, tolerable in '7 but both age (mine) and newer programs such as '8 have left me struggling in changing things now.

    And everybody was crap with "Millenium", because it was utter crap.

    Have you tried the version Phil ??
    In hindsight I should have posted my Facebook status as: "I've blown the head gasket on my 1997 XR3i" rather than "I've just buggered a 14 year old escort".
    The police still haven't seen the funny side, my lap top's been confiscated and the wife has gone off to her mum's.
