Cannot uninstall WB completly

from Stardock Forums
I think a long time ago I uninstalled Window Blinds through add/remove programs but it only removed it from the start menu. Then I read some posts here on the forums and used the Stardock program remover thing, but it crashed halfway through the uninstall and it still has some of the files in C:\Program Files\Stardock\Object Desktop. When I try to delete the folder it says some I don't have access to those files (I'm logged on as the admisistrator). What is wrong, can somebody please help me!?!?

That has happened to me before a while back.
I think the way i solved the problem was to reinstall WB and reboot. Then uninstall again and reboot.

you should then beable to delete folder if still there.

I hope this helps

If you're getting errors about something then there are two reasons:

1. You're not an administrator (which you've proven to be false)

2. The files are locked as they're currently in use or at least loaded

Since what's going on here is likely option 2, I would suggest renaming any locked files and restarting your computer. Only after you've restarted should you be able to then delete them without a problem.

Post here if you still have a problem.

Installing, rebooting, uninstalling and rebooting should do the trick as well.
