Tools Problem

[adam333]

So I was selecting items to be uninstalled (or so I thought) and I selected "Delete Entry" instead of highlighting the items and selecting "Run Uninstaller".

Now, I can't find the items I deleted so that I can uninstall them. How do I get the entries back that I deleted? I love the software but this was clearly a labeling issue for me. Please help, and thanks!!

Perhaps they are in add/remove programs list in the control panel.

 

Or try c/program files, open the software file you want to uninstall and look for uninstaller.exe

 

If still no joy, have you a sysytem restore point from just before you did this?

Thanks--they're gone from the Control Panel list too. I guess I have to remove them program, by program.

Wonder if they could be hidden from the windows add/remove list.

 

Try the tip below.

 

Windows Explorer>Tools>Folder Options check Show hidden files and folders.

 

Open sysoc.inf in the C:\WINDOWS\inf Then press Ctrl+H to open the Replace Wizard.

 

In Replace Wizard:

 

Find what: ,hide,

 

Replace with: ,,

 

Then go to control panel Add/Remove , if there were any hidden components they should now show.

There is always Revo Uninstaller, I've just seen a link to this on here, and its free.
