Cleaning up my win7 folder? ( EQ icons everywhere!)

[Terayon]

<p>So I open my windows game folder and BLAM the'res like 40 EQ2 icons, only one of which actually works. I can't seem to delete the others. Since I don't see a tech support forum.. I guess this is as good a place as any to ask.</p>

<p>This is the technical support forums! <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p><p>Does your uninistall programs list show these 40 EQ2 installations as well?  What error do you receive when you attempt to delete the icons?</p>

<p>Its from using the old patcher.  You need to either use the station launcher or the streaming launcher to stop this from happening.</p>

<p>Mine has this too.  Guess I will have to use the streaming patcher now which I was never really a fan of.</p>

<p>You can open regedit and delete those entrys.</p><p>Goto</p><p><span style="color: #ff0000;">HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentV ersionGameUX</span></p><p>The dupicates are probably under the <span style="color: #ff0000;">S-1-5-21</span> sub folders.</p><p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><span style="color: #000000;"></span></span></p><p>Deleteting those should do the trick but you may have to leave one there if you prefer to launch through your games folder.</p><p>As always I suggest you right click any folder and export to create a reg file in case you wish to restore.</p>

<p>Holy moley... There's a tone of folders under that related to EQ2.</p><p>edit: well I cleaned it up, though i guess i nuked the one that actually worked. Oh well, I launch from desktop anyways, via EQ2 maps. Still, that's one less mess on my comptuer... now if only I can get the [Removed for Content] thing to not lockup after waking from sleep!</p>
