remove programs.exe ??
 

Can i get some assistants please. Im trying to find the "remove programs" exe. So i can set it as a short cut since i install and uninstall so many programs. I looked through the entire Windows directory. Is it called something else? Any help would be appreciated.

good question. I dont think there are any associated .exes that you can use for the remove programs option...its a part of settings. I could be wrong, if i am someone please correct me

I would just like to know how to uninstall after installing the cab in case they don't work. I have a couple hidden somewhere in my phone, it triple lists under Programs but cannot find the little boogers to delete the double icon.

You have to use "ctlpnl.exe cplmain.cpl,#" the # being the correct number for remove programs.. I can't help you with WHICH number though.. try 1 - whatever and see which number does what ;)

Cheers

Ok i found ctlpnl using explorer, there is only one "ctlpnl" and i click on it nothing happens. Help ? Im slow sometimes :)

Re: remove programs.exe ??
 

Create a shortcut to ctlpnl.exe and then using a text editor edit the .lnk (shortcut) and add in the cplmain.cpl,# beside the \Windows\ctlpnl.exe

Change the # to numbers 1 - 12 and run the shortcut each time until you get the uninstall program.

Once you find it let us know ;)

Ctlpnl.exe want even open even if I dont modify that shortcut. I placed it as a shortcut and tried to open it. At least i figured it would go to the control panel, but nothing happens. So i then tried what you stated assuming i understood correctly...in Example......
"\Windows\ctlpnl.exe cplmain.cpl, 3" now not only will the .exe not open its now recognized as a .exe anymore.

Pardon me if I am wrong, but I think it requires 2 numbers 1 specifies tab 1,2 or 3 and the next number specifies the setting within that tab, i'll see if I can find this.

Thanks Iggy, lets us know :) I couldn't get it to work :(

Actually I was wrong, its just the quotes that are in the wrong place. After a search I found this and at least the Remove Programs one I tried works so I will post them all here:
