So i have Win XP and my question is:
if i see my desktop and then right klick the System menü comes up (Symbols,new...). Some programs i've instaled made there a new entry. i know that i can delete this in the registry but i don't know the path.

(and please i'm bad in english but not stupid. I know how to open the registry)

You want to remove the regstry from programs that are installed?

no i have removed it but this is till there

so i've installed a programm and i've removed it BUT i'm on my desktop > rightklick >symbols and there is new: show Symbols and two other ones and i want them to KICK :maulsaber:

Can you post how they would look in English? I dont know german... yet..

what will look in english??

i haven't much time now i will upload some pics soon

Go in Regedit ==> HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE ==> SOFTWARE and delete the folder corresponding to your program
(example: for The GIMP, delete the folder GIMP).

If its adding items to a Context Menu in windows, it would be in a system registry.

ok the problem isn't away.

what are ffff and askbardis?? google says this is a virus is this correct?? because my firewall says there isn't any virus

Firewalls dont remove viruses. You need an anti-virus program.


Can you post a screen shot of whats not going away?

that's the problem i tryed but it doesn't work on the desktop. so i try again to explain:
1: I install a program
2: i delete this program
3: i'm on my desktop with all this icons.
4: i press the right mous button at a place where is nothing no icon no file no folder only the Desktop.
5: i go with the mous on the first menue entry (it's for order your desktop icons)
6: a new menue apears next to the first.
7: i can choose to order my desktop icons for their names the typ or how big they are.
8: under all this normal things are three new ones from the installed program

i hope my english is well enough

Check and see if the program is in the control panel still

no it isn't

So basically, you're saying that when you uninstalled this program it didn't delete all the files/settings? Isn't there some programs which make sure that all programs are thoroughly deleted, although I'm not sure if they cost money....

EDIT: This should help you in the future, although it don't think they work with programs which were installed before the uninstaller was installed.

Try uninstalling in safe mode? Or run a virus scan in safe mode, 'malwarebytes' ( a virus program that is very good) scans the registry for any unwanted keys.
