ReplyDeleteHey thanks. Seems it worked
ReplyDelete!
Don't listen to the above. Go to the “C:/Program Files/MagicISO" Right click and CUT. PASTE it to your desktop and then drag it to your trash. DONE!
ReplyDeleteAbove didn't work for me either. What did is to cut the file to another place, open it in notepad, delete all the contents, save it, then delete the file.
ReplyDeletesame it's doesnt work , that why i hate using old program, it's system is broken for win 10 or in other word is not compatible,
ReplyDeleteDON'T DO IT! Under current Windows 10, stopping ("deleting" as said) explorer process was useless: the confirmation box disappeared. However, starting explorer as also said via Task Manager, showed me my desktop with ALL shortcuts and files that were on it deleted (even from my user desktop folder)! DAMN! I finally ended up with the only solution at hand, and which I will illustrate : clean up Windows registry manually (if someone knows how to restore my previous desktop, please leave a note).
ReplyDeleteAfter opening regedit in administrative mode, do a backup of your registry. Then:
1) Search (without the quotes) "misosh64.dll". In the first occurrence, look at the key and copy it, it should look like (but will be different.. maybe):
DB85C504-C730-49DD-BEC1-7B39C6103B7A
Then from the beginning, search for that long string, and delete every of its occurrence (it corresponds to the program ID string of MagicISO)
NOTE 1: if regedit gives you a message that it can't find what you are trying to delete, refresh it via its top menu.
NOTE 2: press F3 on each search string, as there will be duplicate entries: those in HKEY_USERS (or CURRENT_USER), and those in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
2) From the beginning, search for "MagicISO", and delete every occurrence of that Key (along sub-keys) from the left panel. There will be some entries in other places like a string among others under the key for menu system etc., delete those single strings from the right panel (same thing for the previous search along the ID string). Or a letter among a list of several others, corresponding to the list generated when asking for a program to open ISO files by default when you double-click an ISO file: delete the corresponding letter too.
3) From the beginning, search for "Misosh.MShellExtMenu", and delete every occurrence of that key from the left panel (along its sub-keys)
4) From the beginning, search for "Misosh.MShellExtMenu.1", and delete every occurrence of that key from the left panel (along its sub-keys)
5) That should do it. Close regedit and restart your system
FINALLY) From then on you should be able to delete MagicISO folder along its left-overs from Program Files (x86).
Maybe HawkFest above me is not wrong but to avoid that, and mess up with the registry, just uninstall the program in the Custom way, selecting all the entries and delete them, then do what the author said.
ReplyDeleteListo.
