Question

I dont want any aol on my puter. It is a used puter and aol stuff keeps poping up. Please show me how to remove all AOL...

Answer 1

Do the add/remove programs thing...

Then go into program files and right click on the icon, then left click 'delete' on any AOL folders you see there. That should get rid of what keeps popping up.

Skip the registry stuff or you'll end up with a big door stopper.

Answer 6

if you have the guts because this is extremely dangerous, but from the Start > run > regedit  once you are in the registry editor, search for AOL and delete all references to AOL.

Where it gets tricky, there are several registry points that need to stay in the registry, and thisis why it gets dangerous...

THERE IS NO UNDELETE IN THE REGISTRY...

one s***w-up can cause you to reformat the drive and re enter the OS.
