  Does anyone know how I can remove this program that has no program folder, no registry keys, but still works? I can still print from this computer, but cannot access the HP Director (a function to scan, print, clean & align print head, etc.), which is what started this process of trying to uninstall/reinstall the program.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated...

  My system is;

  Dell Dimension 4550

  Windows XP Pro w/SP-3 (version 2002)

  Of photo TakerYN...

  This message can be considered "solved!" I was finally able to remove the program with the HP disk. I tried to reinstall (overwrite) the program, but I received a message that the installer has detected that the program is already installed. I wanted to try it manually, so I 'opened' the disc, you click on "setup" and received the same message. At this point, I was ready to try anything and noticed the "Launcher" icon and thought, what the heck, can't hurt to try at this stage, so I clicked it. I wasn't expecting the screen, I had, who said that it would be to uninstall the program. I thought it was too good to be true and easy way (after all), but after that it's over, I checked my Add/Remove programs and my 'problem' program was gone.

  Thought I would post this so anyone who might encounter the same problem can try this.

• How to remove programs from the system tray without removing them from the startup?

  How to remove programs from the system tray without removing them from the startup on Windows XP folder?

  Hello

  The first step is to identify the program that represents the icon and decide whether it should be in the system tray (most are not necessary). Hold the cursor of the mouse on the icon to see the name of the program that launches the icon.

  The best bet is to click the icon to see if this opens the box of the program options. If so, look for a selection similar to "remove from the system tray.

  Alternatively, you can hide the icons in the system tray.

  Here's how:

  1. right click on the taskbar and select "Properties".

  2. in the "Notification area" click "Hide inactive icons" if she already unchecked and then click on the button "Customize".

  3. click on the ' column next to each of your current behavior and choose one of the three behaviors for each program icon that appears in the system tray: "Hide when it is idle," "Always hide", or "always show".»

  If you hide an icon, but then see it again the next time that you log on to Windows, you may need to uninstall the program to permanently remove the icon. Uninstall the program permanently removes the program from your computer. For more information, see Uninstall or change a program.

  I would try using the Windows Installer Cleanup utility, which can be downloaded from Microsoft: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301. To install the tool, download and run as administrator.   Then, you must run the tool by clicking Start, typing Windows Installer Clean Up in the search field and clicking on the enter key.   Select the item you want to delete in the menu program uninstall/change, and then click Remove.    Click OK in the confirmation window.  It should work pretty quickly. Click on exit to close the tool.

  To learn more about this utility, read this article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Installer_CleanUp_Utility.

• How can I remove a program is located in administrative tools: Services? I uninstalled the program, but it still appears in 'Services '.

  In order to install a new version of the Anti trend anti-virus software, I have to make sure that another program is completely uninstalled.  The trend stops when if is the program still in 'services.  How can I remove it?

  Out of curiosity, what would the other program that does not properly uninstall?

  If it were other software AV (McAfee, Norton, Symantec, NOD32, Avira, Avast, etc.), many of them require their own special to make them correctly and completely uninstalled uninstall tool/program.  If you do not uninstall program, you will end up with pieces of the old program left on your system.  Just by using Add/Remove programs no longer cuts on some of these things.  These uninstaller programs are generally on the Support page for the AV program, you need to uninstall.

  In any case (what 3.5%?), here's a good guide that explains how to remove a Service from your system.

  How to remove programe files that remain in the registry after I uninstalled these programs?
  I uninstalled Nero 8 on my system (Windows Vista Edition home premium, 64-bit dell 1737 studio system); but several Nero files are always stuck in my registry. How can I remove them without destabilizing the system? Thank you.

  Yes, Nero is a software that I hate. I liked Nero until 6 version, I think, but after the Version 8 and 9, it was pathetic.

  2 years ago I had uninstalled a lot of software and there were many many registry entries obsolete - when a search I found that a member of a forum on the Web recommend CCleaner.

  Used from 2 years - each time without making registry backups. He never did wrong with my two PC - Windows XP SP3 and Windows 7 SP1 (previously Windows 7 RTM).

  The registry cleaner is fantastic.

  In which case you can try it, here's the download link.

  WARNING: Installation be sure to uncheck the installation of Google Chrome options.

  CCleaner automatically prompts you to create backups of registry before she cleans up the registry. The choice is totally yours.
