Eldmannen Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 No idea. Uninstall the software that put it there, and never install it again. Also tell us what software it is, so we can avoid it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Rochip Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Probably a dumb question but have you run Issues analyzer in CCleaner? Perhaps it's a shortcut that points nowhere now. I'm sure Lokoike will post the real solution soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure Lokoike will post the real solution soon. You are absolutely wrong. Actually, I was technically going to post the same solution... but who needs technicalities anyway? Save a tree, eat a beaver. Save a tree, wipe with an owl. Every time a bell rings, a thread gets hijacked! ding, ding! Give Andavari lots of money and maybe even consider getting K a DVD-RW drive.

You can Right Click and remove a high percentage of files and folders on a computer, but it is not the right option because unless they are shortcuts (which that icon did not appear to be) you are more than likely going to end up with a highly unstable system, if not totally unusable. The actual icon that you deleted was part of the FTP application that would have come with dreamweaver for the uploading of websites that dreamweaver would have been used to create. In future I would recommend using add/remove if there is an entry, or if not find out exactly why it is on your system and possibly just leave it there, after all it wasn't doing any real harm, (but ideally should have been uninstalled along with dreamweaver). So with one click of the mouse JohnDemolition makes MikeRochip and lokoike look like idiots I would wait to see if he gets any other problems first before assuming that.

lokoike Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 So with one click of the mouse JohnDemolition makes MikeRochip and lokoike look like idiots ! Easier done than said! Well, technically, it was two clicks, and I was under the impression that we already looked like idiots. This simply exemplified that. lokoike figures that if he hides behind a pair of really cool sunglasses, people will think he looks more sophisticated. Is it working yet? Save a tree, eat a beaver.

burtman Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 i want to remove it I had software that I couldn't remove (even CCleaner didn't spot it) - the software was actaully (physically) gone. To get rid of all eveidence i had to trawl the registry and delete all the class entries [search for prgram u want to remove] and before anyone says, please, please be careful before deleting class entries *PLEASE* If u delete them, and windows breaks - I am not responsible !!

Moderators Andavari Posted February 19, 2006 Moderators Share Posted February 19, 2006 A quicker solution to searching through the registry for leftovers is to use RegSeeker since it will after all create a backup of the removed entry - even custom searches through it.
