Uninstall Components Like MSN Explorer And The Accessories Programs
Aug 12, 2002
This tweak lets you uninstall Windows Components such as MSN Explorer and programs in the Accessories menu on the All Programs menu.1. Edit the hidden system file SYSOC.INF in the Windows/Inf folder.2. Delete all instances of the word HIDE. Don't put any spaces in between the commas.3. Save your changes.4. Open Add or Remove Programs in Control Panel.5. Click on Add/Remove Windows Components. You will now see options for Accessories and Utilities, MSN Explorer and several other components.6. Un check the tick box to remove that component or check it to install it from your XP CD.Be careful what components you remove though.
All of the accessories and utilities were somehow deleted from me computer, but when I go into the add/remove windows components wizard, it won't let me install them. It says "Please insert the Compact Disc labeled 'Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 2 CD' into your CD-ROM drive (D and then click OK". The only Windows XP CD I have only has Service Pack 1 on it and it doesn't work for this
I cannot get to System Restore from Start > Programs > Accessories .No Accessories folder in Program Files folder. Search for System restore shows a shortcut to it and when clicked gets me to C:Documents and SettingsAll UsersStart MenuProgramsAccessories.I haven't changed any settings on my PC. Windows Update got downloaded automatically yesterday.I tried to do system restore to an earlier date but it was unsuccessful. I'm the only user so I boot straight into my account and I'm the only one using my PC.
winxp home, pent 4 processor,when i open start menu andthen for e.g. programs-accessories-system tools or any other program, whilst moving mouse around these windows everything freezes up can only open task manager by pressing cad this shows no activity at all, when i move cursor over it egg timer appears, have to then switch off and start again, have no problems when online,only ondesktop
I understand if you go to start-all programs-accessories-system tools there is suppose to be something there called a character map so you can use different symbols. In my system tools on windows xp I have nothing called character map.
Using XP Pro - go to start, programs, accessories, entertainment, sound recorder. I have used this sound recorder to record a message that I wish to email to a few people. After recording the message, I save it to my desktop. I then go to my email account and attach the file that I have saved to my desktop. The problem seems to be that what I am attaching is actually the address to my desktop and not the actual recording I am trying to send. In other words, what I am sending directs to "C:Documents and SettingsDavidDesktop". Anyway, I would really like to solve this problem and send the recording that I have been trying to do. All help appreciated. Thank you.
My Paint file disappeared. It use to be listed under ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES but now it is nowhere to be found. It is useful to construct attachments. Can someone help me find it and place it in the START menu again.
we had to remove Visual Studio 2005...when uninstalling VS it tells you to unistall portions in order...we did that and now nothing is listed in Add/Remove Programs relating to VS at all...however, in the start menu there is MS SQL Server 2005 configuration tools...when you reboot windows xp you get an error saying SQL Server could not start...well, we don't want SQL Server 2005 on there and are trying to remove it but it is not listed in Add/Remove at all...can't find anything relating to this at all.how do we remove SQL Server 2005 configuration tools?
I am experiencing a strange problem when attempting to uninstall programs from Control Panel --> Add / Remove programs. When I attempt to uninstall a program, the corresponding programs "uninstaller", asks for a network resource. Here is an example screen shot of what I am seeing when I attempt to uninstall Ad Aware: It doesn't seem to matter what I am attempting to uninstall. In all of the uninstall scenarios that I have seen Add / Remove programs asks for an MSI file with a similar name to the program that I am attempting to uninstall.
I'm posting this for someone just starting out with their 1st computer.There were 2 virus scanners installed Norton and Mc Afee I tried un-installing Mc Afee but the full thing won't uninstall and the Norton is corrupt the only thing you can do is run the liveupdate when you click on 'scan for viruses' you just see the outer edges but not the whole dialog box (tried uninstalling but can't remove all the components as well.
Every time I try to open my Itunes, I receive this error "Another installation is already in progress.Complete that installation before proceeding with this install." I think there is an install or unintall on hold or something. I feel like I have exhausted all of my options.
Every program I attempt to uninstall gives me an error message, the most common being "Cannot open install.log" Obviously something has gone wrong - what to do? Running XP
I am trying to clean up a pc I bought online. How can you Uninstall certain programs when I don't have the original CD's? I tried usind MS Add/Remove Programs to no avail. Are there some Shareware programs out there that would do the job?
I have an NEC laptop with Windows XP. I ran C-cleaner today and under the 'Tools' section, found in the 'Uninstall' section several strange programs that I have never installed. I don't know whether to remove them or leave them as they are. I've had the experience of deleting some mystery programs off my old computer and then finding that something or other couldn't run, so I'm deathly afraid that the same thing will happen on my laptop. I'll list out my NEC laptop mystery program names here.
what these programs are and whether to uninstall or leave them? Here they are:
1. AppCore 2. AV 3. ccCommon 4. CP2101 USB to UART Bridge Controller 5. Internet Worm Protection (could this be part of the trial version of Norton Antivirus on my comouter?) 6. SPBBC 32bit 7. SymNet
Also, I've checked other forums that say the following programs (which I didn't install but are on my Programs to Remove list in CCleaner) are harmless, but I just want to make sure they really are. Here is the list: 1. CameraDrivers 2. Director 3. QFolder 4. SkinsHP1 5. SkinsHP2 6. TIxx21/x515 7. TrayApp 8. Unload 9. WebFldrs XP 10. WebReg
Like the title says, when I run Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel, some of the apps have a Change/Remove button, but some (including some I really want to uninstall) have no such button. It just has a date and says how often I use the app.

I've loaded Norton Antivirus on my friends Dell computer and now it runs so slowly the computer is unusable. I've subsequently heard that this can be a problem and that trying to uninstall NAV using the uninstall programme is not very effective.
I am having terrible time getting rid of things on my computer.I have windows XP home, and have the following spyware and virus protection programs: Avira Antivir Personal, Comodo Firewall Pro, Spybot Search & Destroy The first time I ran them they picked a up a little here and there. But its very obvious the spyware is still there.
A couple of my programmes have stopped working recently (AVG and itunes are some of them). I removed them and tried to install them again only to find out that installation had failed. My friend said it is to do with my registry. Anyway this is the error report I get when I try to load itunes.error signature AppName: itunes.exe AppVer: 7.1.0.59 ModName: quicktime.qts ModVer: 7.1.5.120 Offset: 00104b0d
I have a problem with my Installshield engine, and so I am unable to install/uninstall programs. I am running Windows XP home on a pentium IV, 2.4 GHZ with 512 ram. I think the problem started when I was installing a program called eBay Blackthorne from a download. Now, any install/uninstall is affected. The error is "Internal error # 2738".
I've used IE 7 with Windows XP for a long time and like it. The Microsoft web site suggested I download IE 8, so I clicked "okay." End result is that IE 8 did NOT download, IE 7 is still there, but my Internet is wicked slow in loading, I can't copy and paste from any web sites (right click doesn't work on web pages)...and I cannot see any of the toolbars or icons that used to be across the top on IE 7("my favorites," "copy," "print," and so on.) To fix this problem, I decided to uninstall and then reinstall IE 7, but got a warning on Add/Remove Programs saying: "You have installed a lot of stuff since you installed IE 7 and if you remove IE 7, some of that stuff may no longer work. Do you want to continue?"
I need to uninstall IE7 then reinstall it. The problem is that pesky German thing again. I don't know is I should save my stuff or just do a clean install and then have to reput in all my stuff. Which would be okay. The reason I don't want the uninstaller deal in 7 to save my stuff is because I am afraid that some of that will be in German then here we go again!! This whole thing is because I can't install the English version of Adobe Flash.
Os windows XP professional .Internet explorer is not working properly.The internet explorer does not appear in the add & remove programs in control panel .How do I remove it and reinstall it.I tried repair it with downloads does not work out well.
I have tried without success to uninstall IE. As I have come to understand it, this is because IE is an integral part of the operating system (Windows XP Home Edition).I have also had no luck with my attempts to transfer it to a new hard drive I have installed on my ancient HP Kayak XM600. My old hard drive is down to 3% free space, so every kilobyte is critical!that I do not simply want to disable it, I need to free up space. Also, for reasons that I won't get into, it is too late to uninstall the new drive and reinstall it as the master drive (Yes, this is probably what I should have done in the first place--I am learning as I go
Last week I posted a question to this forum regarding the trouble I was having uninstalling Explorer Beta 2 (you can't install Beta 3 until you UNINSTALL beta 2). I got some very good suggestions -- system restore, trying REinstalling beta 2, etc. but none of them worked. Beta 2 won't reinstall unless you uninstall, restoring back to earlier times resurrected other demons and glitches I had solved, etc. What I believed happened is part of my overzealous file maintenance. I usually delete all those windows update Uninstall files that clutter up the Windows directory. Who knew that one of them was probably the uninstall file for Explorer Beta 2?
System has been shutting down and restarting up on its own, it has done this three times, i looked back at anything new i have done recently and all the i can think of was i deleted Open Office, i received a error message saying if i delete it some programs may not operate correctly. Also i tried to delete Windows messenger Live in the the control panel under add remove windows components i deleted internet explorer by mistake and had to reinstall it. The last time it didn't shut down but i got a blue screen that said Windows has detected a software or hardware problem and has shut down to prevent damage,check any new hardware or software that have been recently installed, the error massage was " IRQL_NOT LESS_OR_ EQUAL. I am running IBM pentium 4 windows XP.
