HOW I REMOVED “PC-MIGHTYMAX”
This can be potentially damaging if you aren’t careful about following the directions.
Explained in simple terms for the newbies
I am assuming that the reader knows the location of their PC MightyMax
(Probably: C:\Program Files\PC MightyMax )
When you install PC-MightyMax, it starts automatically every time you start your computer.
Because it is running as soon as you start your computer, it will be difficult to remove.
It will NOT be found in the Control Panel\Add
When you go to C:\Program Files\PC MightyMax ( or wherever it is located on your computer )
and try to delete it, you may get a message to the affect, “cannot remove, program is in use”
First you may want to remove the program from your Startup Menu.
1) Left-click on the “START” button to bring up the main menu.
2) Left-click on “RUN” in the right-hand column of the main menu.
This will bring up a window labeled “RUN”
3) In the “RUN” window, type “MSCONFIG” (without the quotations)
4) Left-click the “OK” button.
This will open the “System Configuration Utility” window.
5) Left-click the “STARTUP” tab.
This will show you a list of everything in your startup menu.
6) Scroll down until you find “PCMM.EXE”
7) Uncheck the box that is to the left of the name.
8)Left-click the “OK” button at the bottom of the window.
A small window labeled “System Configuration” should appear, with two buttons;
“Restart” and “Exit Without Restart”
9) Left-click the “Restart” button .
Your computer will restart with another “System Configuration Utility” window appearing when you go to your desktop screen, telling you that you have used the System Configuration Utility to change the way Windows starts.
Yes, you did in fact make a change. PC MightyMax is NOT running at this point.
10) Left-click “OK”
The main “System Configuration Utility” window may appear.
11) Left-click “CANCEL”
Now, with PC MightyMax not running, it should easily be removed
12) RIGHT-click the “Start” button
13) LEFT-click “Explore”
14) LEFT-click “Program Files”
You may get the message “These Files Are Hidden”
15) Left-click on the phrase “Show the contents of this Folder”
This will show you a list of many or most of the major programs on your computer.
16) Using the scroll bar in the right-hand panel, scroll down until you see “PC MightyMax”
17) RIGHT-click on the folder labeled “PC MightyMax “ and then LEFT-click the word “Delete”
