Sorry if this seems a bit daft...

...But how do I uninstall "Microsoft Picture It! Publishing 2001"? I clicked on the "Remove" button in the add/remove programs list, as far as I can tell it just reinstalls the thing.

Is there not an unistaller that you get with it?

Kenmcfa · 12-10-2005, 06:32 AM

Nope. There isn't even anything begining with U in the directory.

Vimialp · 12-10-2005, 11:06 AM

ctrl-shift-d the folder

Couple of things. Try looking in the program folder, to see if you can run the uninstaller from there. Look for options when you run it; some will have install/repair/uninstall functions in the same .exe.

Also, some registry cleaners will have an uninstall option you could try.
Anyway, you'll certainly need to clean the registry if you do just delete the folder.

Nope, there is definately no uninstaller thingy. Do you know where I could get a good registry cleaner?

Scroll doon a wee bit. There was a thread on the topic not too long ago.

well wat do u mean it reinstalls it when u click on remove in "add and remove" programs list... from wat i understand it runs the uninstaller but as most microsoft products these days... the uninstaller will give u options about reinstalling, modifying or removing... you just gota look harder and find the remove option

Mondine, I can't find said topic.
Jessica: In the add/remove programs list, I pressed the 'remove' button, and then it didn't give me any more options at all.

Can you not download a program which is designed to delete stubborn files?
