Re: Uninstalling programs after a non-destructive recovery

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I forgot to mention that one of the things that is causing problems is
an addon for the game World of Warcraft. I have tried the reinstall
then uninstall for it but it won't let me install the add on again.
It keeps listing the folder it is in as read-only under properties so
I uncheck that and apply the new setting but it still won't let me
remove the file.

I can't reinstall one of the programs because the disks for it are at
my parents (I'm 6 hrs away at college) and when I attempted to follow
the alternative directions you provided there was no security tab
under the properties of the folder. I am logged on to the account
with administrative access, am I missing a step some where?

Hi

Try reinstalling those programs, then uninstalling them again. Otherwise
the following article may help:
