Applications List Question

[84CubsFan]

Hi,

 

I've deleted GoogleEarth from my system but it still shows up in the CCleaner applications list. Any way to remove it for good?

 

Thanks in advance for your help.

It would have to be removed from the registry.

You want to get rid of the following subkeys:

 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Google\Google Earth

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Google\Google Earth Plus

 

That should do the trick

 

Once you're there you want to remove the following subkey as well, if still present:

 

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\Google Earth Plus

You're very welcome.

 

Next time it happens, here's what to do:

 

Look for the pertinent entry in your Winapp.ini (or Winapp2.ini)

 

In this case here's (part of) the one in question:

 

[Google Earth]

LangSecRef=3021

Detect=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Google\Google Earth Plus

 

And as you might expect, the 'detect' line is the one to watch here; it's what CCleaner looks for when you launch it so see whether or not to display the application
