Problem removing Yahoo! Internet Mail app.

How do I remove Yahoo! Internet Mail bypassing Add/Remove programs? clicking the change/remove button does nothing...

I want to make a fresh install of new Yahoo Messenger 7, uninstalling all previous Yahoo stuff first. Cannot get rid of Yahoo Internet Mail application

I had the same problem on my PC before I wiped it and started from scratch...without installing Yahoo. How were you able to remove it? I never could, and I'm sure others out there also have the same problem and could benefit from your experience...

I noticed that YahooInternetMail application is not installed on my system anymore after I had uninstalled all of Yahoo stuff, so I just deleted orphaned registry trace left there by yahoo uninstaller on "add/remove programs"

HKLM/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Uninstall/YahooInternetMail

Okay, so with macstorm's esoteric explanation i managed to figure it out. I however will post a DETAILED explanation because im sure lots of people may come here looking for a solution, read macstorm's and still not have a clue what to do. anyway.

1. click start, and then run. type regedit in the run window. (this opens up the registry editor. which you NEED to delete the "orphaned registry trace" i couldnt help but notice this was left out of someone elses explanation.

2. on the left hand side, go to this directory

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Uninstall/

3. in there you must delete the folder YahooInternetMail. and that should get rid of it for you no problem.

Also i had something in my control panel called Yahoo! Install manager and when i tried to delete that i got an error. All i did was delete another folder, which i think was called yhelp something or other. i forget exactly.

Anyway i hope this helps.
