Try deleting from the recovery console. First you'll need to Control
Panel|Admin Tools|Local Security Policy Recovery console:"Allow floppy copy
and access to all drives/folders" set to enabled
To start the Recovery Console, start the computer from the Windows 2000
Setup CD or the Windows 2000 Setup floppy disks. If you do not have Setup
floppy disks and your computer cannot start from the Windows 2000 Setup CD,
use another Windows 2000-based computer to create the Setup floppy disks.
Press ENTER at the "Setup Notification" screen. Press R to repair a Windows
2000 installation, and then press C to use the Recovery Console. The
Recovery Console then prompts you for the administrator password. If you do
not have the correct password, Recovery Console does not allow access to the
computer. If an incorrect password is entered three times, the Recovery
Console quits and restarts the computer. Note If the registry is corrupted
or missing or no valid installations are found, the Recovery Console starts
in the root of the startup volume without requiring a password. You cannot
access any folders, but you can carry out commands such as chkdsk, fixboot,
and fixmbr for limited disk repairs. Once the password has been validated,
you have full access to the Recovery Console, but limited access to the hard
disk. You can only access the following folders on your computer:
%systemroot% and %windir%
Then from the recovery console command line;
SET allowallpaths = TRUE
to gain access to all folders and try deleting from here.

| Thanks, I was able to remove the Loader (stop it from loading at startup);
| however, the DLL still seems to be in use so I dcan not delete the folder.
| When I try to remove it using Add/Remove programs, the Uninstaller program
| (FNuninstaller) accesses the internet and I can not do anything but
| terminate Add/Remove programs (it stops responding). When I try to run
| FNuninstaller by itself nothing happens
