After uninstalling any program these are the steps I take to completely remove software without having to use a 3rd party utility. While it does take more time, I would rather do it myself without using 3rd party tools that can sometimes be unreliable or do more harm than good... Thanks for watching :)
I love watching Revo uninstalling all those leftover junk program and registry files! If I ever replace this old laptop, I'll get the Pro version for sure!
BCUninstaller works great as well. Didnt really notice any difference between BCU (free) and a paid version of Revo Uninstaller. Both work great though
Yes, after uninstllkng a programe through revo uninstaller, some regisrey items are still there which needs to be removed mannhally via searching searching registry editor
The problem remains it's hard to tell what software we can safely remove just by the software's name. Bloatware that has a serious or important sounding name makes us think, "I'd better leave that alone in case removing screws up my computer."
Exactly what I wanted. Thanks. I moved away from Firefox a couple months ago. I noticed remnants still in the registry. I thought it was ok to delete and you have given confidence plus a couple other areas for me to look.
A whole lot easier just to use the free version of Revo Uninstaller which does your backup and identifies and allows you to delete left over registry entries and files.
Shouldn't you run the program's uninstaller first? Did I miss the part where you went into Control Panel - Add/Remove (or whatever they're calling it these days) and running the uninstaller?
This is the problem I am experiencing with some of my ".ico picture." I create folders for my personal use. I do not want the newly created folders to look like the usual windows folders, so I go online and find various pictures to be the face or cover for the folders I create. The original pictures might be in the jpeg or png format. I convert the pictures to the ".ico" format. After I converted the jpeg or png pictures to .ico format, I right click on the folder, I select "properties", I then click on "customize", then I click on "change Icon", I then select "browse", I then go to where I saved the converted pictures to ".ico picture", I select the picture and the picture is now on the folder I created for my personal use. The picture covers the entire folder like it should. After a day, week, or sometimes a month, for some unknown reason to me, the picture on the folder will shrink and no longer covers the entire folder. Do you have some fixes or suggestions that will resolve this problem I am having with the picture shrinkage? I use windows 10 Thank you.
