Try installing the same program again...

Once done see if there is a uninstall option in the, programs menu.

Other wise have a look inside the actual program folder itself , usualy you will find the unstaller/uninstaller hiding in there also..

If still no go try and get a program called add and remove plus that usualy does the trick..

IF IT AINT BROKE, DONT FIX IT

I've had good results with Move On Boot; it will delete whatever you want when you reboot. Very convenient and easy too; I just click 'n drag whatever I want removed to Move On Boot, and at reboot it is deleted.

Do not use MoveOnBoot. It will not uninstall the whole program & its orphaned files mounted elsewhere on the HD. MoveOnBoot is designed to delete single files not program-wide.

Oops... I learned something new today, guys. I didn't know that... sorry for giving some wrong advice.... Well, I guess I tried anyways; hope it didn't cause any problems to him....

Thanks for mentioning this, XpUser...
