Un-Installing Problems...

Postby Fozzer » Thu Nov 12, 2009 7:35 am

Hello Chums... :)...!

I have this ever-recurring problem!.... :'(...!

I often install programs on other than "Program Files" on my Main "C" Drive...

eg: Partitions and separate Hard Drives...

When it comes to "un-installing or removing" Programs, Widows "Add/Remove Programs" automatically looks to/points to, the Main "C" Drive only!.

Is there a program (one which works!) which will enable me to point DIRECTLY to my OTHER Drives, etc, to enable me to correctly un-install any programs, affecting my Registry, on those other Drives/Partitions?

Many thanks Mates!...;)...!

Paul... :)...!

I don't even bother with the windows Add/ Remove anymore.

I use CCleaner's Add/Remove tool. It sees both of my drives at once, and removes things that for some reason, the windows one would not.  ::)

I haven't tried any others, I used this once, and it did what I wanted it to do, and just stuck with it. ;)
