DO NOT EMPTY YOUR RECYCLE BIN UNTILL YOUR SURE EVERTHINGS RUNNING OK

HERE ENDETH THE FIRST LESSON

 

Thinking of putting this in our church magazine. MGs thoughts on it Please

 

For the masses, stick with windows uninstaller imo. Not bad advice otherwise, though.

I might disagree on how much extra apps slows machines down, unless they have TSR components.

 

I havent seen uninstalled apps go to the recycle bin when uninstalled, usually they disappear directly.

 

Non-serious advice to follow:

To guarantee removal of all programs, open case, remove hard drive, place in drill press, and drill no less than 4 holes. All programs are guaranteed to be removed.

Okay, seriously, don't do that.

 

I usually use IOBit, especially when removing preinstalled antivirus and junkware programs during an OEM restore. My reason for doing this is IOBit's deep scan finds and removes a lot (sometimes up to a few hundred) leftover registry entries even after the standard uninstall (accessed through IOBit) finishes.

BTW, IOBit Uninstaller also comes with and installs with Advanced System Care v.6.

Not arguing; just curious on why you prefer Windows uninstaller without the additional deep scan IOBit provides.

 

What size IO BIT do you recommend :-D

 

I'm partial to 1/2", but 5/8" works as well.

 

I find that more often than not giving customers additional maintenance tools inadvertently leads to them experimenting and in turn breaking something.

Call it lack of trust

I know we as advanced users prefer more clean installs, but even the not so clean uninstalls that Windows does are safer.

Ironically, most uninstalls from OS X are far, far, worse than what Windows leaves behind.

 

Is that metric inch's :confused

 

Teach them the 1st rule - READ THE SO AN SO SCREEN

 

LOL...it didn't work in Gremlins, do you think it will here?

 

NO but you could try telling them to tap the top of the monitor - to make the sand run through the hour glass faster

 

Oh, I see. One of those metric weirdos. IN that case 6mm or 9mm.

 

OMG an Imperial Geek Freak:-D
