Are you all ready for this? Here are the instructions that Google gives for uninstalling "Chrome."

1. Make sure extensions are displayed for your files. Here's how:
1. Go to the Start menu > Control Panel.
2. Double-click Folder Options.
3. Click View.
4. Make sure the "Hide extensions for known file types" checkbox is deselected.
2. Right-click this link.
3. Click Save Link as and save the file name as remove.reg. (Select "All files" as your file type.)
4. Exit Google Chrome completely.
5. Double-click remove.reg on your desktop.
6. In the confirmation window, click Yes.
7. Click OK.
8. Go to the Start menu > Run.
9. Enter one of the following commands in the text field, depending on your operating system:
* Windows XP:%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Google
* Windows Vista: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Google
10. Delete the Chrome folder in the directory that opens.

Google Chrome should now be uninstalled.
