hey im an interested individual. what do you mean in step 1? if you're talking about the current user folder, there's no "Software" folder in there...

Yeah I'm also stuck. Deleting the other folder on its own does nothing, and I have no file on my computer starting with "dead" =/

Ah, okay... "Open up your Registry Editor" was not included with the first comment (possibly because you need to be careful...)

So if your windows username / email is "abcde", your "user folder" is C:\Users\abcde

This is not referring to that folder. If you run the program "Registry Editor", also called "regedit.exe" or "regedit.msc", the top folder is listed as "Computer", and then the folders under that are exactly

  • HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
  • HKEY_CURRENT_USER
  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
  • HKEY_USERS
  • HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG

There may be others, yours may be different, but the HKEY_CURRENT_USER folder will (almost) always be there.
