Hi.
I am still fairly new to using Ubuntu and Wine. 
In the past year I have been slowly migrating over to ubuntu and installed linus on all the computers in my home.

One of these computers I installed linux on a partition so that i could still use windows programs to do my work with...

However, last night XP died on the one partition. Go figure. I have hated windows for a very long time... So now I am forced to install ubuntu on the entire drive because I am not going to buy win 7. 

Wine Looks promising though. I'm optimistic that I will still be able to make use of the win apps I like while working in a linux os.

Here's the deal I installed a windows program using wine to test it out and it didn't work. Others have. No biggie. I tried uninstalling it, and it won't uninstall.

I googled stuff. Someone said delete some registry stuff and it will uninstall. It didn't.

So I tried cleaning it out manually to remove it. It didn't.

Is there another simple method to force and uninstall of a program. 


I will be reformatting anyways but it would be nice to know for next time how to remove things well.

Thanks
Todd
