How to Uninstall
Previous  Top  Next



If your NoteTab package came with an installation program (Setup.exe, or something like NTP48.exe or NTS48.exe), you can uninstall it by using the Control Panel's Add/Remove Programs dialog box or the Uninstall NoteTab icon in the Start menu. It is not recommended to use this feature if you have installed NoteTab Std and NoteTab Pro in the same directory; in this case, use the /UNINSTALL parameter as described below and just delete the main program file (NoteTab.exe for NoteTab Light/Std and NotePro.exe for NoteTab Pro).


The following information is only relevant to users of the distribution package that did not include an installation program:

If you have associated file extensions, or set the option to use the registry instead of an INI file, or if you have used the command provided to replace MS Notepad, you can easily restore the registry and MS Notepad by executing NoteTab Std with the following command-line parameter (use the Run command in the Windows Start menu and click on the browse button to find the program; NoteTab should not be running when you use this command):

C:\Program Files\NoteTab Std\NoteTab.exe /UNINSTALL
or
C:\Program Files\NoteTab Pro\NotePro.exe /UNINSTALL


The first example above is for NoteTab Light/Std and the second for NoteTab Pro. Note that the program may be stored in a different location from the example shown above.

If you have dedicated a folder for the program, just delete that folder and all its underlying subdirectories and files (except documents you may have saved there and want to keep!).

Otherwise, just delete all files with the name NOTETAB or NOTEPRO (NOTETAB.* or NOTEPRO.*), all files with the extensions ".FVR", ".OTL", ".TPL", ".CLB", and ".CTB", CLIPHELP.CLH, WHATSNEW.TXT, and this README.TXT file. All these files are located in the same directory as NoteTab, or their corresponding subdirectories.

If you have executed NoteTab from a CD-Rom, you will find the NOTETAB.INI and NOTETAB.FPR (or NOTEPRO.INI and NOTEPRO.FPR respectively) files in the Windows directory.
