I have installed a program demo called jaytrax
when I tried to uninstall It the uninstall program wouldn't do It and told me that certain files were read only etc etc
Using active sync explore ( i.e. windows explorer) I was able to deselect the read only checkmark from the files stored in the jaytrax folder (which was inside the my documents folder in main memory)
I could not do this to the main program file or a read me file which were stored within the windows folder on the ppc (hp jornada 568), as the checkboxes were greyed out :scrambleup:
Q1. how can I make these files accessable for deletion (i.e. not read only and deletable by the uninstaller)
Q2. If I delete these files via my pc (is this possible?) and then run the uninstaller will it uninstall correctly (and sort out the registry)
Q3 Why do people make their @**!!@* files read only and also supply the uninstall info file in windows Folder when youve got no chance in hell of getting it off your machine :evil:
any help appreciated
many thx
