does it have its own uninstaller ?

Or you could try looking in the folder where it's installed, sometimes there is a uninstall option there.

If you don't have it, install ccleaner, it's free.

http://www.ccleaner.com/download

Choose tools, and try to uninstall it from there.

Sometimes I have programs that I can't uninstall via windows, but I can from here.

Hope this helps.  :thumb:

Oh right well yeah you could just delete the whole folder and then use ccleaner to get rid of anything unwanted that it left behind. Usually does the trick for me :thumb:

NO! :no:  I think what Malc meant was that there is an uninstaller in CCleaner that is better than the Windows one!!

When you have run it, you will need to re log into any site that has cookies.

You only need to do this once, for each site, visit it, log in, they open ccleaner, choose options - cookies, and transfer any that you want to keep from the left to the right window.

They will not then be deleted.

It might not be alphabetical as in IDNetter.co.uk, but listed as www.IDNetter.co.uk, either that or visit the site, and to get it to appear, click away from cookies (or close ccleaner and reopen) and go back in cookies.

It took me a while.  ;)

Sudden thought.

Are you talking about the uninstaller or the cookies?

David

Im trying to uninstall a programme which came pre installed on this machine Malc PB,have been searching its not on the programme lists at all,yet when I run search and type in the name I find the folders.
This is a photo programme and every time I click on a photo this thing boots up and I want it off as I have got Elements 6 now so don't want any other programmes on here.

If all that makes sense  :doh:

If you can't get rid of it, have you tried this.

Select a photo, JPEG image, right click.

Choose 'open with'

In the popup box find element 6 to open with and check the box 'always use the selected prog......'

Everytime you open a photo from now on, it will open with element 6

Simon

David, have you looked in the Start > All Programs list to see if there's an uninstaller in the Ulead program folder there?

Thanks again Malc,done this and the bugger keeps going back to it as if it is set as default so have to put each folder in one at a time...........has to be an easier way.....but then it is me.. :whistle:
