    Open the Applications folder... drag the application you want to get rid of into the Trash.

    In Warcraft, go to Options>Video, and select 1280x800x32.

    wc3 has no native widescreen support and choosing a widescreen res will just stretch the image

    Do a Google search for AppDelete. When you run it, drag the main WC3 executable into the program and it will search and delete all files related to what you want to get rid of.
