How do i uninstall programs on Mac OSX

There are a few ways to go about it. Some apps that you may have downloaded also come with an uninstaller. You could use that, but what I usually do is just open a new Finder window, and then type the name of the app in the Search box. Then I just drag any files associated with that App into the trash. Empty the trash, and your done.

Just delete the program from the Applications directory. If the program has an installer, there should be an uninstall option.

Simply trashing the application will do 90% of the job. There may be some files left in /Library/Application Support. Adobe, for example, puts lots of files there.

There may also be preferences (.plist) files left in (home)/Library/Preferences. But these are trivial and you need not find them.

There is no need to worry about a Registry needing cleanup as on Windows.

You can't just delete the app from the Applications directory. That will not remove all program files. If it doesnt have an uninstaller, you have to remove the program files yourself by following the proceedure I outlined earlier.

That is a file that can only be opened by Windows. You will need to either run Parallels, Virtual PC, Bootcamp etc... If you need help doing that, I would suggest starting a new post, as this is an entirely new subject.
