Hi Cris, yes reinstalling the program you are tying to remove will often work. It gives you a chance to see where the default installation is going.

I use it for a registry checker. maybe I'll try re-installing my old spybot 1.2 over the one that is on here. and see if any uninstall files show up. and - I can re-install my fix it program too - so that I can check the registry. Thanks for trying!! Cris ----- Original Message ----- From: Mike To: pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, May 30, 2004 10:52 PM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: spybot - uninstall? Hi Cris, this won't help you now, but when I download a program I create a folder called the same name. I used SS&D for Spybot Search & Destroy. I download the program to that folder then close the download and check the file with my AV program. Then I install it to the same folder so that I know where it is. It makes trouble sooting a lot easier. If you check the SS&D forums someone may have an answer to where it saves it's files. http://forums.net-integration.net/ Mike ~ It is a good day if I learned something new.
