TMason8,

There is a policy setting that removes the uninstall button... Its found
here:

START | RUN | Type 'regedit' (without quotes) & press ENTER

Navigate or create the following key:

Current User:


HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Uninsta
ll

All Users:


HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Uninst
all

Key Name: NoRemovePage
Key Type: DWORD
Value: 1 = remove, 0 to add

So, if the key exists then double-click the 'NoRemovePage' & change to zero

Close the registry editor & restart

Singapore,

Do you ever use other sites as you are only ever refering to Kelly's Corner?

As people cannot be sure of what they are downloading I suggest the OP not
to download anything that cannot be explicitly trusted

I've tried to go through this, but under policies, I don't have the
Uninstall item listed. Should I be creating it? If so, how would I do this?
