well i still can't delete that java program from the control panel and the
one from add/remove programs. i also still don't know which subkeys to
delete in the registry. i get to the folder and then try and delete and i
get an error, so i guess that's out. i think i got in over my head and i'll
just have to live with a f***ed up computer. my fault since i messed it up
to begin with. thanks so much for your help though.
