How do you remove "Corel Versions" icon from Control Panel

For a while I used Corel's WordPerfect Suite in the hopes that it would be less annoying than Microsoft Word. Well...it wasn't. I uninstalled it, and even did a search and delete, yet there is still an icon in my control panel called "Corel Versions."

I dont know how to delete the damn thing.

This is annoying!

Thanks Ronjor,

So that's what it's for!!! I have downloaded it but not run it yet. I am one of those people that downloads everything that sounds useful, but generally will only install them when i see a compelling need, often long after i forgot that I had them.

I am having alot more fun since i have learned to simply backup my system and then install away to my hearts content. I will definitely give it a whirl

HAW HAW HAW!

I just re-read my original post and it hit me! I used a variation of annoyed at least three times, and your download is from annoyances.com (i do have it, but of course have to make sure i have the latest version, it is so darn annoying to have old versions).

I hope this is not annoying anyone

Unless they've sold it off to someone else (extremely unlikely), TweakUI is from M$ themselves, part of the "Power toys" set. Since it's not officially part of Win or IE, they (and hopefully anyone else offering 3rd-party downloads of it) make it very clear that there's no support available.

But it's a very handy tool for adjusting settings that are usually difficult to find otherwise, in some cases only through the registry. I personally don't like the XP version nearly as much as the old one for 9x, since a lot's been taken out, but that's probably because of the peculiarities of XP.

 

Who needs M$ $upport when they have Wilder's

I am proud and stubborn enough to say i have never spent a penny for support and probably never will. My feeling is that if I, with my totally awesome intellect can not figure a program out then it is not good enough to be on my computer. I realize that would not necessarily apply to highly customized special applications, but certainly for any of the humble programs I use!

Anyway I am writing this for the benefit of others like myself who have been livinging in the dark. TWEAKUI for xp worked! not only can you remove leftovers from old installations, but you can remove the icons of applications that may be there, but have no good reason to clutter your control panel. I have quite an assortment that i don't know apply to my installation or not...AC-3...well, i have two speakers and a subwoofer, but i think maybe Creative likes to pretent that it is surround sound. REAL? i do not use real as such, but i think possible some of its codecs are used by something or other, but the only control is "Open" and when i click it nothing happens. I suppose i dont need to know if it represents something or not, the fact is i don't need the icon. I could go on, but suffice it to say if i don't use it it is going...going...gone!

I did not mention something before...it is another control panel mystery!

You will recall that "TweakUI" has the following format:
a box (w/ or w/o a check) followed by something.cpl - name of some feature

Okay, i am willing to guess

check indicates icon is to be displayed
something.cpl means something.controlpanel icon
- there just as separator
name of some feature, is the name of the file that its linked to

Okay, here's the big mystery, the first entry is:

box w/ check [no visible characters] - [no visible characters]

i dont know how to enterpret this! is this present for all users? The box with a check would seem to indicate that an icon is being displayed...or not? Any explanations or good guesses?

it is version 2.00.1.0

am i to assume you do not have the box checked " - " entry?

 

I did the upgrade to your version, however it still had the entry, in fact it is the first entry of the list of control panel items...
