Re: [JAWS-Users] chrome;how to get rid of it
Hi, I just downloaded CCleaner and found that my home page has been changed to Google Chrome. I've tried every trick I know and, believe me that's really not too many, but I just can't get rid of this new home page which I definitely don't want. I even uninstalled CCleaner hoping this would solve my problem. It didn't. Can someone give me step-by-step instructions as to how to do this Thanks in advance for any help.

I misunderstood his problem. I idnot think it was the browser that came up.

So, if you're running Windows 7 open the control panel, press the letter, P, until you have Programs & Features highlighted, press enter to open, press the letter, G, & when you land on, Google Chrome, press the applications key or shift + F10 to open the context menu, & press enter on uninstall to get rid of the Google Chrome browser. To keep this from happening again there is this little program called Unchecky that will uncheck nasty little checkboxes like this for you automatically. Anyone who is concerned about unintentionally installing promotional software may be interested in trying Unchecky. http://unchecky.com/ It runs in the background as a service and monitors for recognized installers. It then automatically unchecks any checkboxes related to installing toolbars, browsers, and similar unwanted products. I have not thoroughly tested the program and it is not guaranteed to catch everything, but there have already been several updates since the initial release so I'm sure it's detection rate will improve. It will not remove anything which has already been installed. It only monitors installers. It is a tool for prevention, not for removal. Take care. Mike Global warming?

Re: [JAWS-Users] chrome;how to get rid of it
Hi, and thanks to all who came to my rescue. The problem was that I completely lost IE and Google Chrome wouldn't budge. I tried many suggestions given here, but I guess I just don't know how to use Google Chrome. Finally, I did what Mike suggested, went to the control panel and deleted it easily from there. Thank goodness I had Firefox to get me through the rest of it. All's well that ends well. Again, thanks to you all.
