How can I uninstall hidden programs (not shown in Add/Remove Programs)? I already tried to delete all occurrences of 'hide' in sysoc.inf, but programs still do not appear in Add/Remove programs.

I'm on XP SP2 installed (not enough space for SP3). Hidden programs include MovieMaker, Outlook Express and Internet Explorer (for the last two, add/remove windows components will only remove the links, not the programs themselves). Thank you!

Hi Mr. Diamond,

You can't completely remove or uninstall programs like Movie Maker, Outlook Express or Internet Explorer from the computer, because these were built in operating systems.

If you want to free up space on the computer, and then see the link below.

  • How can I uninstall a program that does not show in my add and remove program?

    I downloaded a program called Imesh is a file sharing program. Should have never downloaded it. I can not even find an uninstall icon to remove it. I looked in the folder program files and it didn't no Imesh folder.  When I click on the Start button and select programs.  I shows that the icon there but not uninstall icon.

    Can someone help me please? Would be very happy.

    Thank you

    You should never uninstall an application by going to C:\Program Files and simply delete the application folder.

    If there is no link "Uninstall" in the entry of the application in the start menu > all programs, you must uninstall it by going to control panel > Add / Remove programs.  Select the application and click the "Uninstall" button

    Sometimes, you must stop the application before you uninstall it.  This is the case with iMesh.  See--> http://support.imesh.com/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/28/0/uninstall--install

    Well that does not mention the body of your question by using the control panel > Add / Remove Programs, the subject line is.  So, if in fact you tried that method and iMesh is not listed there, then either

    Reinstall iMesh and see if it then appears in Control Panel > Add / Remove programs

    or

    Free download Revo Uninstaller.  Stop iMesh as described and then use Revo to uninstall.

  • I recently downloaded a lot that I don't want. How can I uninstall it. its not shown in the list of the computer.

    I recently installed "a lot" which I do not, how to uninstall what it isn't in my list of computer material.

    Hi Rupert,.

    Do you know when these facilities began?  Try a restore of the system to a point in time BEFORE the facilities began.  Here is the procedure: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/76905-system-restore-how.html.  Don't forget to check the box to show more than 5 days of restore points.  If the first attempt fails, then try an earlier point or two.  NOTE: You will need to re-install any software and updates that you have installed between now and point of restoration, you really want to keep it, but you can use Windows Update for updates.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • How can I uninstall unwanted programs that I have 65 in my list and they use 2.48 GB of storage?

    original title: PROGRAMS to UNINSTALL & FEATURES

    I've used this laptop (Windows Vista) about 500 hours in the 12-18 months (3 GB RAM & 320 GB HARD drive).  There are 65 PROGRAMS & FEATURES INSTALLED (for example, are 65 too in 12 to 18 months?) for a total of 2.48 GB.  Of the 65 programs & features, 15 were used "FREQUENTLY", three 3 were used "OCCASIONALLY" and all others, "RARELY."  The computer is Acer (c) and 244 GB free out of 286 GB.  The processor is 'Genuine Intel(r) CPU U2700 @ 1.30 GHz.  I would use this PC exclusively for WEB SURFING & YOU TUBE VIDEOS and especially of REARVIEW. TV (maybe there's another even better site for movies B & W '30 s, 40 s' & ' 50 s - I'm still doing research) to watch old Hollywood B & W movies.  I would appreciate any advice on what changes should I make of this laptop.

    Thank you very much.

  • How do I uninstall the program "Utilities" since the Satellite A210

    How can I uninstall the program "Utilities" since the Satellite A210. In Control Panel I can uninstall the program "Value Package" but not "utilities".

    With the A210 I can't work with the FN keys and on a German Toshiba support website I found this information:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB0402UR0000R01DE.htm

    So I'll try this installation sequence:

    -Chipset utility
    -Display driver
    -Toshiba value added package V1.2.40
    -Technical support utility Flash Cards for Satellite L500 (see this thread, why I want to do):
    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=46135&TSTART=7
    -V1.0.25.5C Toshiba-Utilities
    and no doubt
    -Installation of V2.00.09 equipment

    I hope that the FN keys will work after this installation sequence.

    You can not get rid of IE but nothing says you have to use it, either. If your computer is slow, here are some possible reasons. On a Windows machine, #2 should really be #1.

    1. computer has not been maintained - http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Maintenance

    2. the computer is infected with the malware - http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_Malware

    3. the disk is too full. Remove useless stuff, uninstall unused programs. Do not forget to save!
    http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Backing_Up

    4. flaky third party software. Toolbars and modules are particularly guilty in this area. Uninstall toolbars (Google, Yahoo, ISP brand, etc) and look at what modules are in use in your browser (s).

    5. computer has too many unnecessary programs/processes running in the background. Manage your Startup:

    For XP - How to troubleshoot using the Msconfig in Windows XP utility - http://support.microsoft.com/?id=310560
    The free Autoruns program is very useful for managing your Startup - http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/default.mspx

    For Vista/Windows7 - Start Orb > Search box > type: msconfig and when it appears in the results area above, right-click and choose 'run as administrator '. Autoruns is also very useful.

    6. the user runs an inflated/invasive such as Norton and McAfee antivirus program. Replace it with a better program. I recommend NOD32 (commercial) or Avast (free). Avira is also good, but the free version has an unpleasant reminder screen (Google for instructions on how to disable it). The user can also run several real-time antivirus/firewall/security programs.

    7. the user has installed new programs that are processor and/or memory-intensive (Photoshop, AutoCAD, Mathmatica or similar) and does not have the power of the equipment.

    8 drive fails and is in PIO Mode. It's very much slow (like being in 1985). See Hans-Georg Michna here information - http://winhlp.com/?q=node/10

    In addition to the above, see also http://miekiemoes.blogspot.com/2008/02/help-my-computer-is-slow.html

    Note: If the computer has always been slow, in addition to the above user may have bought a machine with a less powerful processor and not enough RAM (memory). The normal use of the computer, 512 MB to 1 GB is sufficient for XP; Vista should have a minimum of 2 GB; Windows 7 is less demanding than Vista, but the minimum of 2 GB should also be used.

    Refresh your PC goes like this:

    • The PC starts in Windows RE (Recovery Eenvironment).
    • Windows RE scans the hard drive for your data, settings, and applications and puts them aside (on the same drive).
    • Windows RE installs a new copy of Windows.
    • Windows RE restores the data, settings, and applications, which it set aside in the newly installed copy of Windows.
    • The PC reboots into the newly installed copy of Windows.
