  • How to remove a folder from program files in the C drive?

    I tried to remove CA my computer for several days. I just discovered how to manually remove programs. However, will not remove the file CA in my program files. I give permission, and then he said please try again. I don't use this program because of the large amount of questions and he won't let me download an anti-virus up-to-date program. Help, please.

    You must uninstall the programs start / Control Panel / programs and features - and then select the program you want to remove, right-click on it and click on uninstall or delete - otherwise the pieces of the program stay in various places throughout the operating system and in the register - it cause you problems later and taking space without good reason.

    If you really want to remove this folder to appropriate it.

    To resolve this problem with the record of CA, appropriating the folder (as an administrator) and give you all the rights.  Right-click on the folder, click Properties, click the Security tab and click on advanced and then click the owner tab.  Click on edit, and then click the name of the person you want to give to the property (you may need to add if it is not there--or maybe yourself). If you want that it applies to subfolders and files in this folder, then check the box to replace the owner of subcontainers and objects, and click OK.  Back and now there is a new owner for the folders and files that can change permissions.  You can change now switched to read-only (even if the main folder indicates that they are always read-only - you can access yourself as the owner).  You can now delete the files and folders.  Here is more information on the ownership of a file or a folder: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67717-take-ownership-file.html... If ownership doesn't work, someone has placed a deny access to all user somewhere safe - you have to find that entry and delete it and then you will be able to delete the files and folders.

    Good luck and I hope this helps!

  • How to remove the units listed in the window of the autorun program

    Does anyone know how to remove the automatic launch of units? Earlier, I installed several of my old mobile phones, which I don't use anymore, but when I open the autorun program, they are listed (some several times) and I can't seem to uninstall. Would be very happy if someone knows how to solve my problem. :)

    Hi Bijei,

    • It is a program to AutoPlay or AutoRun?

    I suggest you open the editor from the registry on your computer and check in below location if the old mobile entries are listed. To open the registry editor follow the steps below:

    a. Click Start.

    b in the start search box type regedit and press to enter.

    (c) in the registry editor, navigate to the following location.

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\AutoplayHandlers\KnownDevices

    or

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\AutoplayHandlers

    d. Locate the old entries from mobile device to the above address.

    If you are able to find the entrances to the location above, you can click with the right button on the mobile device entries and remove entries. After you delete the key, restart the computer and verify if they appear in the list of AutoRun again. Before you remove the key make sure that you back up the registry keys.

    Registry warning:

    Sometimes, this problem is due to two Windows that have been corrupted registry entries. To resolve this problem, you must use the registry editor to delete the corrupted registry entries.

    However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

    For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, proceed as in the KB Article:

  • Receive error message when you try to uninstall a program/game (Windows Vista)

    I have 2 games and a program I'm trying to uninstall it from my computer, but I get errors on each of them.  I have used Windows Vista to uninstall programs and features (Add/Remove).

    Here are the games/programs:

    1st:
    Chocolatier 2 secret ingredients

    Error: The file "C:\Program Files\Chocolatier 2\ReflexiveArcade\unins000.dat" does not exist. Impossible to uninstall.

    2nd:

    Error: Could not open INSTALL. LOG file.

    3rd:

    Error: The log "C:\PROGRA~1\BRODER~1\THEPRI~1\DeIsL1.isu" file is not valid or that the data has been corrupted. Uninstallation will not continue.

    I want to delete the 2 games inorder to reinstall (I get error tring to open them too).

    The program of the print shop that I just deleted, I've never used and don't plan to use it.

    HOW?

    I saw that others suggest using a program called Revo Uninstaller Pro unstallation, http://www.revouninstaller.com/

    But I'm not sure this safe or will work.

    Now that I got everything that I'm not very good at using the computer except to simply add a program, and I will need detailed instructions to do it myself.

    Thank you very much!
