Sounds and Audio Devices - How to add/remove programs?
in [Windows XP]

From: Smirnoff on 21 Jul 2010 06:41 Although I turn off all alerts in Sounds and Audio Devices I notice that I have some programs listed that I no longer have on my computer. One example is Avast! Antivirus. I uninstalled this and then used the complete removal tool before installing MSE. There does not appear to be a way of deleting the program from the list. As stated, I don't want any system or program sound alerts but I notice that IE is not a listed program should I change my mind. How do you add/remove programs in Sounds and Audio Devices?

There are no programs there. If you want to dump the driver for some *hardware* device... Hardware tab Select device Properties Driver Uninstall -- dadiOH ____________________________ dadiOH's dandies v3.06... ....a help file of info about MP3s, recording from LP/cassette and tips & tricks on this and that.

IE's Sounds (e.g., Information Bar; Start Navigation) are listed under Windows Explorer. As for "leftover" programs in Program Events, I don't know of a legit way to remove these other than a Reg hack or running a <spit> "Registry cleaner." (My "leftovers" include WinPatrol & MSN Chat.) Remember the First Rule of Computers: If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Not sure I understand the problem stated, but, if left over files are bothering you use Revo for uninstalling programs. Does a good job of hosing the system of all files. It's free. http://revouninstaller.com/revo_uninstaller_free_download.html |
