Hello,
My laptop came with Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium (32 bit)
preinstalled. Following Microsoft's suggestion, I created an extra account to
be the Administrators account, and switched my personal account to a standard
account for added security. When I installed programs in this manner, the
icons only ever showed up on the Administrator's desktop, and so I had to go
through and move them to my own as none ever showed up in "All Users" (or
public). That along with other "Access Denied" issues I was having prompted
me to change my personal account back to a Admin account, and that being the
case, I removed the other one I created, because I saw no reason to have 2
admin accounts on a computer that only I use...
Problem is that when I removed that account, all the neccessary uninstall
information that was associated with those specific programs was removed as
well... and now I can't remove those programs! I NEED to remove some of those
programs as they are causing issues on here... If someone doesn't help me
out, then I will have to reinstall Windows Vista from scratch, losing all the
stuff I've done in the last several months... not something I want to do!
If anyone has any ideas that could help, I would greatly appreciate it!
Thanks in advance
