I just upgraded my laptop from Win2k to Windows XP last night. Everything is running smoothly, however, all my old programs still linger in the program folder, but they aren't installed or recognized by XP. I want to get rid of some of them, but I don't have an uninstall option and I'm not sure if it's okay to go ahead and just delete these old program folders. I also suspect that some remains of Windows 2000 may be lingering about, and I really need to free up some disc space.
I have been using Add/Remove icon in Control Panel to remove programs. Although the Win2k Pro is running fine ,the icon of Add/Remove Program is not opening the next window to remove the programs.
I downloaded a program from Ebay and after installing it I noticed it didn't have a uninstall. I used my add & remove program to uninstall the program but not all of it got uninstalled. I deleted the folder and then did a search in my registry for anything with refernce to the programs name "Ebay's Blackthorne" and deleted all entries with that name.Every time I reboot windows tries to install something for Blackthorne and I have to keep cancelling it out.
I tried to use "Compressed (Zipped) Folders" in Windows. It didn't work. Then I tried right clicking on a folder/file, selecting "Properties", pushing the "Advanced" button,I then checked "Compress contents to save disk space",and the folder and its contents turned blue but the size of the files,seeming, hadn't changed. Have the files actually been compressed? Should I get an external ZIP program? If so can you recommend a program?
It is frustrating having every program automatically install to program files, including minor things like audio attachment. I know I'll end up with tons and tons of folders in program files. Beyond that, I can't access program files from the other computers on the network. Is there a good way to reorganize/move files to my C drive in a way that would be efficient and wouldn't require reinstalling every single program in a different place?
Um.. I think this could go here. Well i just partitioned my hard drive and i seperated it by music, programs, etc. What im trying to do is get all my programs to use the seperate partition (E) instead of C:. I just wanted to know how to do this.

Often when I start my computer my CPU usage reaches 100% even though no programs are running. When I go to reboot it, an "End Program - Zoom In" window pops up and I have to click on OK to end the program for the computer to shut down.

I have AVG anti virus and run AVG Spyware, Ad-Aware, and SpyBot regularly.

I select "Run" from Start menu, enter "ipconfig" (or whatever) and black dialogue window flutters open, but closes immediately. Consequently, I am unable to run any commands in DOS. Oddly, when entering "Msconfig" the System Configuration Utility Box opens?
