Hi,
Im new to programming and havent got a clue where to start but I wanted to know if it is possible to write a small .exe program that would remove a program from a computer (WinXP) without the user knowing what was being removed.
I need some sort of program that would perform the following tasks:
1, Run "program.exe" (from run.. box)
2, Enter password "xxxx"
3, Select advanced tab and hit "uninstall"
4, Close after uninstall.
Its a shot in the dark but no harm in asking!
It can be done, but you need to learn how Windows installs and un-installs programmes. How you do it depends entirely on the programme you are trying to install. Get it wrong and you will leave the computer in an unstable state that will cause errors.
But why would you want to un-install a programme without the user knowing about it?

It is ok now, I managed to gain access to the computer without my partner knowing and uninstalled it manually.
I needed to remove a keylogger ;)

Now there's a demonstration of trust. Having been the victim of a surreptitiously installed key logger, I wish she had found it.
BTW: Del only deletes files. It does not un-install programmes.

lol...What a fun thread. Just out of curiosity, how were you planning on running this uninstalling exe without having access to your partner's computer???
So you at least owe us the satisfaction of knowing whether or not you found anything incriminating...

She watches my every move on her pc in an obvious way that she has something to hide. I would have ran the .exe and named it something unrelated, but managed to get to the pc to myself for a few minutes. (I was emailed the reports)
Yes i did find some disturbing evidence.. a secret meeting with a stranger at 3am, cyber sex with an ex, found out exactly what she thought of me when chatting to friends and strangers .. not very nice.
Hence why I had to remove the program as i'd seen enough, it was making my life a misery and I was torturing myself.
Our relationship is now over now I have removed the program - to my relief.
Sometimes it is best to know and im glad I found out what she was really like rather than later.
Thanks for all your advice anyway, at least I can start the new year afresh and rebuild my life again.
Happy New Year to you all :)

Wow...Sorry to have made light of a tough situation there Simon. Sounds like your suspicions were pretty well founded. Hope 2005 works out better for you.
