I recently installed a fresh copy of windows XP home today, and I am
trying to clean out all the crap I don't want on the pc. Some stuff
that I tried to get off will not go away,and I have tried many things
to get rid of them. I have tried going into safe mode and deleteing
them, but they keep reappearing, I have tried to rename them, but the
original folder just reappears. I cannot delete them through regular
mode, since it says it's being used by something, yet nothing I know of
is using them. Even though I removed them through add/remove prgms>
add/remove windows components, they keep appearing. I've tried going
through msconfig, and nothing seems to allow me to delete them.
Can anyone tell me how to get rid of these folders for good?
They are the following:
C:\Program Files\microsoft frontpage
C:\Program Files\movie maker
C:\Program Files\msn gaming zone
C:\Program Files\netmeeting
C:\Program Files\outlook express
C:\Program Files\xerox
I have none of these programs running, and the folders are all empty,
except for maybe one empty folder within.
