[triadtechtalk] Re: Portable Program Question

Brian ... double click the    unwise.exe      .. that should uninstall it.

Personally, if that don’t uninstall it, I would have no problem just deleting 
all the files. If you use a registry cleaner,  I would run that after deleting 
the files.

Armando, Chuck, and Juanita,

I had done a lot of searching before posting and this seems to be the reality 
as explained by one expert:

    "I have to say that I consider myself an advanced user and it isn't always 
easy using the suggested monitoring software. 
    Unless you really know what you are doing, it isn't always immediately 
obvious that a program is portable or not."

So I was hoping the TTT experts had found a trick to testing a program for 
portability.

Without doing some complex checking, I concluded there is one thing I could do.
Check the Program file and any ini, xml, dat or some other like file exist it 
is NOT portable.

In the case of Softonic it is called, "Softonic-Eng7ToolbarHelper", but Tool 
Bar Cleaner doesn't list it.
And, it doesn't appear portable because it contains these files:


Juanita, thank for mentioning the Tool Bar Cleaner, it sure can help quickly 
delete any tool bars and other unwanted items.

Thanks to all for the help.

Brian

    I hope everyone had a god holiday,

    Hopefully everyone had a good time and is ready for a little challenge.

    I finally have what I think may be an easy question!

    I have ended up with some programs on my computer that I would like to 
delete.
    But they are not in the add/remove location or in Reinstaller.

    E.G, Isotonic-Eng7 Tool bar Helper is one of them.
    Since it does not show up on the list, I am thinking it may be a portable 
program and I can just delete its .exe file.
    However, I don't think I should delete the .exe file if they are not 
portable.

    Is there an easy way to determine if a program is portable?

    Brian
