Default Can't remove McUicnt.exe from the Notification Tray

The .bat file works in DOS even though windows 7 has no DOS mode.

I have a new Win7Pro HP notebook which came with McAfee. Since I wanted
a different antivir prog I followed McAfee's instructions to uninstall
it from the Control Panel, then ran the McAfee cleaner prog to remove
any remnants. It seemed to go fine, and I successfully installed another
antivir.

But McUicnt.exe still shows up in the Notification Tray ... meaning that
when I click Customize it is listed along side everything else.

I know I can set it to hide all the time, but I would just as soon get
rid of it entirely.

I tried deleting the two keys from the registry
(http://www.itsamples.com/notificatio...-cleaner.html), but after a
restart the damn thing is back!

I tried searching the hard drive for McUicnt.exe, but came up empty. (I
hope I did the search right - I am coming from XP and may be unfamiliar
with any Win7 quirks to searching for files).

Any ideas on how to get rid of this?

I believe I essentially did the same thing by manually deleting the two
keys with regedit and restarting the PC.


I've used the tool that you used before and it didn't work but this one
did. Worth a shot if it is just a notification icon and not something on
the computer.


OK. It seems to have worked. Now why would the .bat file work when
manually deleting the keys from the registry did not?
