Am trying to uninstall McAfee program of of my second drive. Regedit goes to C drive and not "D" where the program was installed. How do I get to the registry on "D" to edit it?

to fix somethign like that it woudl be a deep configuration in registry depending onto where it sets its configures.

the best thing to do is re-install telling to install in your d drive.

Like kjanx stated, the registry resides on the C:drive. Anything that was installed on the D: drive will show in the registry but the pointers will be to D: instead of C:.

So as kjanx stated just edit the items out of the registry from going to Start, Run, type in "regedit" (without the quotation marks) and hit OK.

G'day Leroy, you can run Regedit from anywhere [I've done this] but the actual Registry resides in C:\Windows [System.dat and User.dat] and cannot be moved unless Windows was installed on another drive [not recommended].

Did you try the Add/Remove applet from the Control Panel to remove it, much easier than fiddling with Reggie. Does it have it's own uninstall program shortcut on the Start Menu\Programs?

Thanks to all. KJANX was right on. Some of the older Mcafee aps don't have an un-install feature, so you have to manually do it from the registry.
