Hi,
Programs that tell you of files you have to manually remove will usually
refer to the following situations:
(1) settings stored in INI files which you may need to use later; or
(2) Programs that create files which are useful to you. In other words, the
program would have created such files by your own action.
Now the nest question is how to remove such files.
Well, using a file manager such as 7zip file manager or even our native
Windows Explorer, navigate to Program Files (often "C:\Program Files\", find
the folder where Quitter had been installed.
Highlight the folder, Then Press Shift+Delete to permanently wipe off the
folder from the face of the earth. Well, if you don't mind the recycle bin
size, just press delete and the folder will be sent back to the recycle bin
instead.
Next, you need to navigate to where programs often store their settings. I
am not sure which Windows OS you're using, but the folder on XP should be
C:\Documents and Settings\<your user name>\app data.
In this folder, you will find lots of folders referring to different
programs that store their settings there.
Find that of Quitter.
Now without opening the folder of Quitter, repeat the same operation you did
in Program Files: namely, press shift+delete to destroy the folder and all
its contents (the settings).
After this, you are clean: you're ready to install a fresh copy of Quitter.
Actually Quitter is cool: so I wish you all the best. Any problem just post
with detail.
By the way, I made some assumptions like "C:\program files" for this is the
normal storage area of all installed programs unless you changed; if you did
so, just substitute my bigoted Program Files with your correct path.
Another bigoted or assumption is the <your user name> just substitute that
phrase in angle brackets with your own username you are logged with.
Another issue you need to sort out is if you are on Windows 7, you need not
enter the "C:\documents .." path, users have got a special folder in the
root.
Cheers,
Ishe

Subject: [Blind-Computing] QWITTER
members,
Afew days ago I posted a problem I was having with Qwitter. The problem
still exist. I had Qwitter back several months ago and had to uninstall
it. When I went to uninstall it I do not remember if Qwitter had an
uninstall selection on their icon on the start menu but I either went
through the icon or the add/remove programs in the control panel. The
problem is Qwitter downloads properly or at least goes through the motions
this is on a reinstall of Qwitter. When Qwitter appeared to not be opening
up correctly I went to uninstall the program again in the same fashion as
before and got a message that all the elements could not be removed but it
also said I could remove the elements manually. Can someone please assist
me with this? Once the other elements are removed i think Qwitter should
install as it should.
