How can I fully uninstall the New.net plug-in? To uninstall the application, please follow the steps below:
Click on Start.
Select Settings.
Click on Control Panel.
Double-click on the Add/Remove Programs icon.
Select the New.net Application.
Click on the Add/Remove button.
Once the program has uninstalled,
click on the OK button. After completing all of these steps,
please reboot the computer. This will have removed the New.net application from your system.
The above steps will fully remove the New.net plug-in. However, the Windows operating system will retain a record that the New.net plug-in previously had been installed on your computer in "C:\Windows\Downloaded Program Files." This file is harmless, but can be removed by following the steps below:
Click on Tools.
Click on Internet Options.
Under the General tab, click on the Settings button.
Within the Settings window, click on the View Objects button.
Within the Downloaded Program Files window, locate and delete Tldctl2c Class.
Close the Downloaded Program Files window.
Click on the OK button within the Settings window.
Click on the OK button within the Internet Options window.
Close Internet Explorer.
To unhide file extensions, click on My Computer, then the View tab at the top of the screen, then Folder Options and the View tab in the popup box. Scroll down and make sure the "hide file extensions for known file types" is UNCHECKED and ok your way back out. Now whenever a file comes into the system, it will have the extension visible.
Remove the file from the system--any version of Windows
With the exception of some versions of Windows 98, the Windows Scripting Host can be installed on the computer, but not be displayed in the Add/Remove Programs dialog box. For these, and all versions of Windows, you can disable WSH by removing its executable file. Please follow these steps to do this:
1. Click Start, point to Find, and click Files or Folders.
2. Make sure that Look in is point to either drive C or All Drives if you have more than one.
3. In the Named box, type wscript.exe and then click Find Now.
4. Right-click the resultant file, and then do one of the following:
If you are sure that you will not need this, click Delete, and then click Yes to confirm.
If you want to keep a copy of this file so that you can easily reinstall it later:
1. Click Cut. (Do not click Copy.)
2. Close the Find Files window.
3. Double-click the My Computer icon on the Windows desktop.
4. Insert a blank, formatted floppy disk into the floppy disk drive.
5. Double-click the floppy disk drive icon--usually drive A.
6. Click the File menu, and click Paste.
5. (Optional). Because you have deleted or moved the Wscript.exe file, if you ever do try to run a .vbs file, you will see a Program Not Found message. This is, of course, expected, and you can just click Cancel. If you want to prevent this, however, you will have to remove the file association, as follows:
a. Start Windows Explorer.
b. Click View, and click Options or Folder Options.
c. Click the File Types tab.
d. In the Registered file types list box, scroll down to select VBScript Script File.
e. Click Remove, and then click Yes to confirm.
f. Click OK, and then close all dialog boxes.
