143294 2003-05-11 23:02:00 I have just been cleaning out my computer..or trying to....
by uninstalling games that have long gone...given to friends etc that i dont want...and i am having trouble uninstalling around 15-20 of them...they say they cannot find the uninstallation file etc from specified game folder....i am guessing..at the time i uninstalled when i gave game away...i must have deleted file from c:\ by seleting file and moving to trash then empty trash...and after time i knew it was wrong opps...

I'm using winxp home....and i know theres somehting i can use thru the registry...to fix this..but i have to say...i'm not a computer expert and dont really have confident in fiddling with the registry as i dont wanna stuff up my computer :-)

Hope someone can help

and some of the games are: need for speed 2 and 3...cricket ashes series 97...rubiks cubes and so on....

Many thanx

143295 2003-05-11 23:10:00 Go to www.download.com

and download a program called tweak UI

It will let u delete the names at the add/remove programs.next time remember to delete the games/programs at add/remove programs because some of the data in the registry is not deleted!!

143297 2003-05-12 02:17:00 You needa find where its extracted the 4 files.. called TweakUI.***

From there, right-click on TweakUI.inf and choose Install

Its now under your Control Panel :-)

143298 2003-05-12 02:36:00 You will find your missing installation files hidding in the TEMP folder. As Chilling mentioned, look for the TweakUI.inf file.

If your TEMP is overflowing, you may need to use CTRL+F within the folder and then search for *.inf

its a tool that simplifies the reg editor.

And seeing as i cant post images here i made a webpage showing you the program so you can decide if its for you or not,theres a link to the program there as well

Have a look,its worth it(meaning it took me 20 minutes to chuck her together)
