Hi everyone, I have a computer that has 2 hard drives and am running windows
xp pro. My 2 hard drives have been partitioned big time. My c drive is low
on memory so I was told to install programs on another drive, which I have
done. I now want to uninstall a program I installed on my f: drive but can
not see it on my "add and remove programs" list.

Can anyone tell me how to uninstall this program. I installed it twice in
my f: drive once under the folder"program files" and again just under F:. I
deleted all the files under the F: by just selecting them and deleting them
(which I know was wrong). Anyways, I still want to uninstall them in the
programs folder.

This program is an old grade 8 high school homework helper, that my daughter
got from school, it doesnt seem to work properly so I want to uninstall it on
my F: drive and just reinstall it on my c drive. The program doesnt seem to
have an uninstall file.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
CG

Just delete the Folder from Program Files Folder. Also look in the
Registry. Go to Start>Run type: regedit
Navigate to HKey_Local_Machine\Software If you see a Program Folder
in there delete it the same with
HKey_Current_User\Software.

That is just it, there is no ONE folder in my program files folder, it is a
bunch of them, and I have other things there too from other software, so I am
not exactly sure which ones to delete????
