amigafan Posted April 25, 2004 Share Posted April 25, 2004 Here's a little tip I found a while ago.If you never use Web Folders (does anyone?) run webfolders.msi to uninstall it, then delete the install package, which if I remeber correctly resides in the system32 directory. Although I've always done it manually, I believe it can be removed silently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pollux Posted April 25, 2004 Share Posted April 25, 2004 Great! BTW the filename is webfldrs.msi and it's located in system32.So what switch do I use to uninstall it silently?/ Pollux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datalore Posted April 25, 2004 Share Posted April 25, 2004 Usually the switch to uninstall something is /u . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amigafan Posted April 25, 2004 Author Share Posted April 25, 2004 My apologies for the incorrect name. That's what happens when you try to post in the middle of a killer hangover (what a fantastic night though )The silent uninstall is:msiexec /x c:windows\system32\webfldrs.msi /qnThe path may need to be modified for your system.

RyanVM Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 Two things: first, WTF is Web Folders anyway? I've seen it in the Uninstall section but never known what it actually does.Second, is there an INF file that can be edited so it's never installed in the first place (and by extension, a list of files that can be deleted from the XP CD).
