I had certain online poker sites on my computer but have uninstalled them through the control panel, uninstall a program, method. However, when I go into my manage add-ons sub-screen in Internet Explorer, the add-ons for these poker sites still remain. Does anyone know how to remove these add-ons? thanks. |

Using Windows Explorer, navigate to C:\ProgramFiles\ or C:\Program Data\
See if there are any folders with the name of the add-on. If so, delete that specific folder. -------------------- MS MVP Windows-Security 2006-2008

QUOTE(Jacee @ Nov 29 2007, 10:59 AM)  Using Windows Explorer, navigate to C:\ProgramFiles\ or C:\Program Data\ See if there are any folders with the name of the add-on. If so, delete that specific folder. None of the add-ons are in either of those folders. This seems awfully complicated for something I should just be able to remove - do I need to use command prompt? And if so, what am i to type? |

In IE7 go to the Tools menu, then to "Manage Add-Ons", then to Add or Delete AddOns.
