Pissed Warcraft 3

HELP
I recently installed warcraft 3 on my hardrive and i forgot about the other copy i have installed on my other hardrive. There is no uninstall program so i can delete it. it also doesn't show up in control paned add remove programs. I also cant just delete the folder... I get some error about how some file is write protected.
How do i get rid of it?

sometimes the uninstall file is in the folder of the game itself. look around there if you can find any uninst.... files.
another possibility is that both installantions use the same register an install options. than you should be able to just remove the second folder.
if you want to remove the 'write protect '
option of a file, right click on it and the choose properties. the window that appears then should have a selectable box for setting this option.
(dont know exactly for XP, i use 98.
hope this can help.

oh and always remember to back up your savegames.

go to Start>All Programs>Warcraft III>Warcraft III uninstall

thats the uninstall file. if that doesnt work or youve tried it already come back and we'll try and think of something else.

It rocks. ::nodnodnods:: Even when I'm not doing a network game I can sit there and play it by myself and I'm amused for hours at the time.
