| 728152 | 2008-12-12 09:01:00 | If the program only partly installed it may still show in Add/Remove programs and NOT in Ccleaner - to remove the listing in Add / Remove programs . First make a restore point in case something screws up . Go to Add/Remove Programs ,write down the exact name of the program . Click Start / Run . type regedit and hit “Enter . ” Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ CurrentVersion\Uninstall . ” Look for the folders with the names of the program you want to delete . Right click each of these folders and then click Delete . If you receive a message asking “Are You Sure You Want to Delete” click “Yes . ” When you have deleted all the folders of the programs you wish to remove, close the Reg Editor . Open Add Remove programs - the listing should now be gone (may require a reboot first to refresh) IF you dump it directly out of the C: Drive - make sure you don't delete it out of the recycle bin YET - if there are any shared files in that folder, other applications may fail as well . Try all the other apps first on your PC before emptying out the recycle bin - dumping programs from the C: Drive is not advised in that way unless you are POSITIVE they will not affect any thing else . And not many people are 100% positive what else may or may not be affected - in fact is damn right dangerous . Unless the folder on C: drive is empty, but you need to have " show Hidden Files & system Files" visible to be sure . |

Ran CCleaner. Status. Does now NOT show on screen a t startup. (Deleted it from there.) Does NOT show up in Add or Remove. Does show up in Start_All Programs. Would like to delete it from there as well, altho it is causing no problems at the moment. PJ |
