How to delete the files of a software which is partly installed

Many a times when we install a software, the computer hangs or there is an accidental shutdown due to power-cut or due to any other reason the installation remains incomplete and the software is installed partly. Sometimes, we cannot delete the files of this partly installed software. Or if we delete those files manually, the registry values entered by this software is not removed. To overcome all these problems, Microsoft provides a small utility- "Microsoft Windows Installer Cleanup Utility"

This utility allows you to safely remove these files it doesnt damage any other programs. And you can start with a fresh installation.

Fix the problem of Show hidden files and folders getting reset

This is a common problem these days that the option of “Show hidden files and folders” always gets reset each time when we set it to show the hidden files. This is sure a case of infected system either with Trojan or virus.
Possibly the system is infected by a virus named “amvo.exe”. So let’s remove this first to be on a safer side.

Steps to remove amvo.exe:
1. We need to delete following files

• amvo.exe
• amvo0.dll
• amvo1.dll

2. Open command prompt by typing cmd in the Run box. Then type

• cd windowssystem32
• attrib -s -h -r amvo*.*
• del amvo*.*

Steps to fix the problem:

1. Now open registry editor and navigate to the entry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerAdvancedFoldersHiddenSHOWALL
2. On the right side see the entry named “CheckedValue”, if the value is set to ‘0? change it to ‘1?.
3. The “DefaultValue” under the “CheckedValue” should be set to ‘2?.
4. Click Refresh under the view tab and if the entries the same that we set just now that means the problem is solved.
