Re: Using 'Run" feature

but I cannot
install a newer version until I get the old version off completely.

What program?

If you do not ununstall a program correctly it may leave "stuff" all over the registry.

Look for an Uninstall shortcut on the Start Menu for that program.

Look for an Uninstall.exe in the folder for that program in C:\Program
Files.

Then see these.

The ccleaner is a dandy little tool but it didn't fix the problem.
Thanks for your help.

No, that wasn't it -- whatever it was the tech talked me through before
it led me directly to a brach of files names which I could check or
uncheck - once unchecked it was deleted.

It wasn't writing a Cmd.
Let me go back to the link and read up on that.
I thought I had the correct path from a former seacrh I did when my
computer could FIND the program - it seems it took it partially off -
but I cannot install a newer version until I get the old version off
completely. Thank you again.

Still got running water and lights in Russia I hope.

GREAT ANSWER and even more important Thank You for the link -- it's
like following breadcrumbs but the knowledge does accumulate. Thanks
again. Thankfuly this is nothing earth shattering but it does does put
a fire under me to seek the 'know how'. I'll keep you posted.

If the economy of The Soviet Union collapses overnight -- it wasn't me!

How do you use the 'Run' feature in the START menu in order to
remove a program that does NOT show up in the ADD/REMOVE list on the
Control Panel. I think I did it once long ago but have forgotten
the procedure. Can anyone help? Thanks

Hi,
Do you mean the Del command?.
If so, try this:
You need to know the exact path of the application and write it down
to enter it in the Del command.
Open a run command and type in:
CMD.exe click [OK]
there on the command prompt type:
del c:\application
or del C:\Program Files\the application here

Del (erase)
