Can't remove this program!

[shepard97504]

AOL came bundled with my HP laptop. There is a desktop icon to set it
up. I want to remove all traces of AOL from the computer. Because I
have never gone through the setup process, and do not want to, there is
nothing in "Add/Remove Programs" for AOL.

How do I remove this from the laptop?

Thanks

Scan the Registry for AOL and remove all references. Also check for
"AOL" on your HDD and delete the files for this application manually.

Thanks, I will just do this and then use JVPowerTools to clean up the
registry.

Did you have any ideas about my other question, just below, about the
locked desktop icons?

Thanks

Unfortunately no.
