Removing registry entries


cdo5

Recommended Posts

Although vlite successfully removes components for a reduced install, the registry entries for the components are installed. Windows mail is an example.

Vista won't let delete them. And it won't let me change the permissions on the entry so that I can.

I have tried changing permissions for the entire key, which is allowed, but still am not allowed to get rid of the entries.

Has anyone figured a way around this???

Open regedit and do an "edit - find" for Windows Mail. You will find 20 to 30 entries containing those words.

Under several instances of "Microsoft Internet Message" there will be 4 separate command entries to open Windows Mail.

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Microsoft Internet News Message\shell\Forward\command\"%ProgramFiles%\Windows Mail\WinMail.exe" /forwardnws:%1

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Microsoft Internet News Message\shell\open\command\"%ProgramFiles%\Windows Mail\WinMail.exe" /nws:%1

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Microsoft Internet News Message\shell\Reply\command\"%ProgramFiles%\Windows Mail\WinMail.exe" /replynws:%1

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Microsoft Internet News Message\shell\ReplyAll\command\"%ProgramFiles%\Windows Mail\WinMail.exe" /replyallnws:%1

These same entries appear under HKLM.

Confirmed your entry. But only that one found.

It's part of Windows Search component, uses it for Filtering, long story short I will put it to be removed with the Mail as well, thx.
