I was recently "stealth upgraded" to Win 10 (thanks, Microsoft :evil: ) and decided to keep it. I also decided to buy PF3, and tried to uninstall PFE in preparation for that. PFE does not show up on the Win 10 apps list, so I can't uninstall it that way. It is also not detected by the Wise program uninstaller. I don't see an uninstall program in the PFE program folder. I'd rather not just delete the PFE folders without doing a proper uninstall, as this will probably leave errors in the registry. Any suggestions?

When I've re-installed Windows 10, I select delete everything and install Windows 10 from a dropdown menu...that way everything is cleared out of the registry and then just remove any redundant files or folders with regards to FS/FDC or PFE/PF3

Other choice will be to go into registry via regedit and search for PFE and manually remove the registry keys and then delete remaining folders/files....see below

Try this location HKEY_CURRENT_USER-SOFTWARE-VB and VBA Programs

Hope that helps :)

Thanks, Dave. Regedit is far too mysterious for my small brain, and I'd rather not have to reinstall Win 10. Since PFE and PF3 are seperate programs, I'll just leave PFE installed for now and install PF3 as well. Will that cause a problem?

Shouldn't do..but not going to say "Yes" for sure.

If you have issues then a reinstall of windows could be on the cards,
