program removal
After removing a program using the add and remove tool in XP I still see
the programs name in the all programs list , and a corresponding folder in program files .What is the correct way to remove these items? I read somewhere that tweak UI does the job I ran tweakUI but I cannot figure out how to do it ,any suggestions or alternatives please? |

program removal
Some programs uninstall utilities do not remove folders/shortcuts as well as
save data. I have heard that tweak ui will do this for you as well, or you can delete the folder under program files and remove the shortcut folder under the all programs list. Note that if you click the link under the all programs list it should come up as not being able to find the program the shortcut was pointing to. Best of luck, -Kenkcj "Albert Smith" wrote in message ...

Albert, sounds like the Program Uninstaller did not remove the shortcuts
or the program folder from Program Files. You will have to rt click on each shortcut entry and choose delete as well as the program folder . You can also go to StartRun type: regedit click Ok and Navigate to Hkey_Current_User\Software. Find the program folder there and rt click and delete. "Albert Smith" wrote in message ...
