Here is a complex software question.  What is "DIRECT CD"  and how do I uninstall it?

As you mentioned, it is a feature that is loaded with Roxio Easy Media Creator - it is supposed to allow drag-n-drop facility on CDs, like you do in explorer on regular harddisk and other media folders.\n\nFor uninstalling, if there is no separate entry in Add or Remove Programs, try uninstalling all of the Easy Media Creator, and do a custom reinstall, wher you disable the Direct CD option.\n\nIf that doesn't help, you could probably turn that off from starting at boot up - go to Start -> Run, type msconfig and in the Startup tab, disable the appropriate one.

I don't think you can, that was part of the lawsuit against microsoft. They use internet explorer to display the file system to you, i.e. when you look at the files in the c: drive. So I doubt you can uninstall it.

Hi, you can go to control panel and uninstall it.

I have no idea! In fact, I know that you can save all you have on CDs, and then reinstall. But I'm here just to get 2 points and say hello to somebody who has a realy nice nickname. Pozdrav!

You'll probably want to use a program called Lilo (Linux Loader).  Personal experience tells me it's a nuisance to uninstall if you put it in your master boot record, though WinXP has a repair tool which can purge Lilo if need be.

Just remove that program from control panel, or Uninstall it from Add/Remove programs.

Most CD titles require the CD to be loaded to verify you own it etc.\n\nHowever, this program can help with what you are doing.\nhttp://www.virtualcd-online.com/

You know that there are usually files that are installed elsewhere.  There are also changes to the registry.  Even if you copy the programs over, I doubt they will run.  You best bet is to get the CD's they were installed from, if they were.

well u got many options\n\n1) crude manner-- delete all the  folders and files related to the mentioned software, then search the registry and delete all related registry keys (be sure to backup ur registry), then delete the desktop and start menu shortcuts, and Voila, u r done :)\n\n2) download system mechanic 9whatever verson u can manage) from the net (goto www.iolo.com ), then use this software's uninstall features to unisntall the software u want :)\n\nhope this helps ;)

It depends what the program is.  Add / Remove is the best option as it should delete pretty much all traces of the program.\n\nFailing that see if there's an option to uninstall.  Use Windows Explorer to path through to the folder where the program is - normally it will be c:&#92;program files&#92;name of program.\n\nLook for a file that's called uninstall, uninst or unwise - double click it and follow the on screen instructions to delete the program.\n\nFailing that you may need to manually delete the program but unless you know the location of all the files the chances are that some of it will remain on your hard-drive.

You ought to set your autorun value to zero on your cd rom... otherwise the computer content of some cd's will... well, autorun and load programs that can crash your computer or affect your computer in very bad ways.\nOne CD manufacturer got into trouble recently with a lawsuit as I understand it as they were installing RootKit Changes on computers... an innocent person pops a cd in their drive just to play it and then POOF they have a corrupted system file that not only affects their drive of their cd burner, but also gives hackers something to work with.\nAlso, don't ever download games, videos or players that come "free" with a cd or dvd... do you really think they are giving you free stuff? \nAt this point you might want to reformat your harddrive and reinstall all your software. And be more careful next time.

thats a system file. U may boot from ur cd and run set up and choose the recovery option,u won't loose any data (remember u choose to recover not to reinstall)

since you didn't said what you are trying to uninstall, here are some reasons i'm guessing:\n\n- corrupted registry\n- missing uninstaller\n- the program was manually deleted without using the uninstaller.\n\nyou might want to try this program from micro$oft.  It's a Windows Installer Cleanup Utility\nhttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301

Go to the installation folder and see if there is an 'uninstall' option.\n///
