MYIE2 Still lingering around?

I uninstalled MYIE2 over a week ago, but for whatever reason, my computer still thinks I have it.

And...

Every now and then when I run RegSupreme, it removes invalid MYIE2 entries.

Any idea what the problem is?

Thanks in advance,

Looks like you set MyIE2 as your default browser, and then didn't change the default back to IE before removing it.
Did you uninstall MyIE2 or just delete it's folder?

 

Everytime I run my registry cleaner, it has several myie2 entries. I searched for any left-over myie2 files and came up with nothing. I tried out that program, but for whatever reason, it didn't have myie2 listed so I could remove it.

I may have uninstalled it while it was the default browser, but I'm not sure. I uninstalled, not just delete its folder.

Thanks, thus far.

 

That is really strange... if you have uninstalled it, why the heck would it's entries keep showing up?

I know that MyIE2 is "self-contained" and only places it's files in it's own folder, so if you uninstalled/removed MyIE2, it shouldn't be doing that.

You could download the latest version, install it, make it your default browser, then "unmake" it your default browser... then uninstall it. That "should" solve your problem. (?)

Have you tried posting your problem on the MyIE2 forum?
The good folks there may be able to come up with a solution for you.

I reinstalled it, set it as my default browser, set Avant as my default broswer, then uninstalled MYIE2. The problems still remain. :\

I'll be sure to post my question on the MYIE2 forums, soon.

 

Actually, you don't need to set another browser as your default browser to get rid of MyIE2. In fact, any browser will leave registry entries behind if you don't unset it as your default browser... and I think that's where you are running into problems.

Try this:

Install MyIE2 again
Make it your default browser
Close MyIE2, then reopen it
On the Menu bar, click on the Options button
Goto "Default Browser" and click on "Restore last browser default"
Then close MyIE2, and uninstall it.

I think it's the fact that you are not "Restoring the last browser default" that is causing the problem... I may be wrong though .

Here's a little tip I've learned over the years... never set any browser (Mozilla, etc) or browser-shell (Avant, Slimbrowser, MyIE2, etc) as your default browser until you've tried it out and decided to keep it. It will save you a lot trouble in the long run .

Hope this helps

 

It didn't work. :\ Nothing changed.

 

I figured out how to make the registry entries disappear. The MYIE2 remains when I right click HTML documents, however.

 

Try using SetBrowser to take care of the registry settings.

(not sure why you would want to uninstall MyIE2 though )

 

Because he installed Firefox?
