Subject: RE: Tech: Unwanted Taskbar, top of screen
Yes, Web Bar came back, as I had sort of expected.
Well, again I rebooted. Went to Control Panel, Programs and features, and clicked Modify/Uninstall. Found the Web Bar line, highlighted it, and (unhopefully) clicked Uninstall.
Wonder of wonders, a popup window asked if I really wanted to uninstall the program. Yes, I certainly did. It went through its motions of uninstalling, but told me that, while the program had been uninstalled, the uninstall program had been unable to delete ALL of Web Bar, and I would have to manually delete what was left. (But the Web Bar display itself had disappeared.)
Through the Command Interface, I changed to the Program files (and later to the Program Files (x86) directory.) DIR. Sure enough, there were maybe ten or a dozen remaining files (two or three of them EXE files.)
I told it to DEL *.* What did it reply? "ACCESS DENIED."
I tried ATTRIB -r -i -s *.*. "ACCESS DENIED" again.
I wish we had John in Kansas back.
Does anyone have any way to gain access to those leftover Web Bar files, so that I can delete them?
