Removing aol files

[Mel Nichols]

I was using AOL and decided to change isp's
tried to uninstall aol by going to add /remove programs
but it still left 514 filess on my computer as i did a
search. How can I remove these files ?
When i try to delete them the popup says they can not be
read etc.can not be deleted.
Thank you //Mel

Sadly, the only practical way I've ever found to _completely_
remove AOL from an operating system is to format the hard drive and
perform a clean installation. It takes a lot less time than
manually removing/replacing all of the Windows system files that AOL
replaces with their own versions and the hundreds of registry entries.
