Hi :) There is always "revo uninstaller". I've even considered buying it because it really makes all of that so much easier. Right now i only use the trial version when a machine has become so hopeless that there is no easy way out of the mess. Then i uninstall a ton of programs with it and hope i never see the machine again. Regards from Tom :)

That is one reason I upgraded it to Win7. [not Win8]. I was the admin and that was the only account on the laptop and the account that was created when I set up the laptop for the first time. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
