| | cannot remove kompozer I have created C:\Program Files\Mozilla Kompozer\KompoZer 0.7.10\... Within this subdirectory, I installed komposer. Part of kompozer is komposer.exe Now... kompozer.exe will not execute. I wanted to create a short cut to kompozer.exe, but Vista says I cannot. Now, since it will not run, I wanted to just remove it. Within "control panel" I cannot find "add/remove". Within the "KompoZer 0.7.10" subdirectory, I cannot find "remove" or "uninstall". From a command prompt, I tried... C:\Program Files> rmdir /S "Mozilla Kompozer" Vista came back (about a hundred times) and said "access denied" question: Can somebody tell me how to delete kompozer? Tnx, Charles |

Give it another try. One more possibility is that the downloaded .exe is being blocked. Take a look at the file properties of kompozer.exe (right-click the file, select Properties). Also, take a look at the Security tab in Properties, to make sure System and the user have permission to execute the application.

| | Re: cannot remove kompozer Bob, ( I have not had access to my computer for a few days ) I opened a command prompt window. First, to make typing easier, I cd to "C:\progra~1\mozilla kompozer\kompozer 0.7.10". Then I followd your suggestion... Quote: >attrib -r -a -s -h del *.* Then I ran Quote: >attrib -r *.* >attrib -s *.* >attrib -h *.* I tried various permutations of del *.* attrib -a del *.* and always got the same response.
