By hand
1) Run the Registry Editor (REGEDIT.EXE). 2) Open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SOFTWARE\ Microsoft\ Windows\ CurrentVersion\ Uninstall. 3) Click on the [+] next to Uninstall and a branch will expand under it, revealing all of the applications currently listed under Control Panel - Add/Remove Programs. 4) Simply highlight any unwanted entries (with a single left-click) and hit Delete. Several free trial programs if you are uncomfortable doing it by hand http://softsia.com/s/uninstaller.htm -------------------- Not a word was spoken to contradict or disagree with S@bot when he called me a....
bully, dictator, snide, hypocrite, arrogant, smartass and lets not forget, according to him the way I act is reprehensible. Yet, you're going to censor my signature because it's inappropriate and might hurt his little feelings??? Sorry. don't think so QUOTE Druid had my admiration and even though he has always come across as an arrogant, snide and very many times a smartass in posts and pm's S@bot aka Little Silver |

You may not be allowed to open regedit as stock said. Also, regedit closing after 2 seconds is typical of alot of viruses and worms out there (prevents the removal of them), I suggest you do a virus scan to see if your computer is infected.
