Removing Programs

[Guest kgkphd]

I have been getting blue screen errors and have been following the

recommended pattern for isolating them. One of the steps is to remove

extaneous programs. Well,I seem to have icons on my desktop that I don't

remember putting there. When I go into Control Panel - Add/Delete programs,

these programs are not listed. If I right-click on the icon and hit delete,

it tells me that only the icon will be deleted and that I have to go to

Add/Delete in the Control Panel to zap the program. Catch 22. How do I get

at these things? Thanks

You need to tell us what the Mystery Programs are in order for us to answer

your question.

Can you tell us what these icons for?

Open a Notepad and minmise to your taskbar, then Right click the icons and

select properties and copy the path to the Notepad. Do this to all icons you

don't know or you want to remove/delete.

Did you run a through scan for malware and viruses on this machine?

Did this behaviour just occured or it is from long time but now your desktop

got busy and going to do a make up op that didn't work because these icons

gone absolute!!!

Ignor the TRoll Impersonating me!

HTH,
