AOL Registry Clean up

Hello,

I'm tired of seeing AOL on my computer now for the last 4+ years. My New Years resolution is to eradicate this eye sore from my computer. I currently run Windows XP. I've deleted portions of AOL but I still have the shortcut with the AOL vs 9 icon which I don't know how to get rid off.

I need help with instructions on using CCleaner to delete any and all AOL from my cpu.

Hello Juanos,

Welcome to the forums !!! :D

CCleaner is not an "Uninstall" type program. It only uses the uninstall program that is provided with the software that you are trying to uninstall. This can also be done using the normal Windows Add/Remove programs feature. CCleaner's Tool > Uninstall is quicker to provide a list and also allows the user to delete corrupt entries but this Delete option should only be used after all other methods fail. It will delete the entry but it does not do any "cleaning" related to the entry.

In regards to AOL I have used these two items to help eliminate most of AOL from this PC.

Completely Remove AOL 9.0 or version 10 .

This one removes AOL Version 10, also known as AOL Desktop Version 2.7.11.1.

I experienced no problems from using these. I use WinXP Pro SP3 on this PC.

Depending on the age of your PC some pieces of AOL will always remain but it will not affect your PC after using these.

This is my personal experience.

Good luck, :) davey
