I downloaded the MS Powertoys from their web site and intstalled TweakUI. It also installed a bunch of other tidbits like recycle bim contents, command prompt here, cd-extendplayer, etc... I want to get rid of all of it including TweakUI, but in Add-Remove, it says "(remove-only)" and/or the uninstall program cancels itself for some unknown reason. How can I get rid of this stuff manually? Thanks, Jerold |

It sounds obvious, but you are not attempting to uninstall Tweak-UI from the add/remove menu within Tweak-UI are you? This menu only allows you to remove references to programs in your normal control panel add/remove menu. It won't actually remove anything. If you want to remove Tweak-UI manually, I THINK you can (I haven't tried this) simply go into Tweak-UI, restore any settings you want to defaults, and remove Tweak UI from your control panel, as well as the file from wherever you installed it originally. Flexi-cd, quick-res, desktop-from-here and so forth can simply be removed from your startmenu/start up folder and deleted from their directory. Shell extensions such as cab viewer, etc., are a little tougher. You would have to edit the registry, and I wouldn't know how to go about that safely, and don't recommend it if you aren't absolutely sure of what you are doing. www.annoyances.org may have something on this subject if you are determined to remove all traces of power toys from your machine manually. |
