I installed a program and now i don't need it anymore, so
I ran Add/Remove programs and deleted it but it left a
bunch of files still on my computer. So I manually
deleted most of them but some can't be deleted saying
that they are right protected or somthing like that, but
now when i open the internet and try to type in an
address, or click the drop down menu of recently visited
sites, Windows Installer opens and tried to install this
program. And since some of the files are still there an
error pops and and says to remove the program before
installing it again. I can't find any more of the files
from the program to delete, or any that it will allow me
too. Just wondering how i can manually remove them all
or stop the installer from popping up.

Have you tried at your desk top opening search and
Click to expand...
tiping in the name of the program. You will get a lot of
left over strings to delete.
