I was using a program that gave colors to folders. It wanted to update, and I said OK (after
creating a restore point); while trying to close some open files during the update, it turned my
screen black and froze it. I had to shut down the computer. When I brought it back up, I decided to
get rid of the program.

However, when I went to Control Panel | Programs and Features, so I could uninstall it, I couldn't
find it in the list of programs. But it IS in Program Files (x86), along with several folders and
files associated with it.

I was thinking of just changing the name of the exe program to name.exe.bak for now to make sure it
wouldn't affect anything else.

Three questions:

1. Is this a reasonable approach?
2. If so, and if there doesn't seem to be any problem after I do it, would it be OK to delete all
the files and folders associated with this program?
3. Why would the .exe file not show up in Control Panel | Programs and Features?

It would really help if you gave us the name of the program.

I always use a freebie sandbox to load new programs. If the program
sucks, reboot and it's gone.

You could be half-installed.

Under ideal circumstances, something like this might work.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revo_Uninstaller

But it really depends on what happened, and how far along it got.

Since you set a Restore Point, you could roll back to before
this happened, and the original version begging for an Update
should still be there, right ?

You can roll Restore Points backwards or forwards, but I've never
tried running things that way. Usually, I take a system backwards
and that's it. Any forward cases, I might set another Restore
Point or something. (Restore Points loaded using Safe Mode,
the change is permanent and the backwards/forwards is not
offered from there. Only regular running mode allows
backwards/forwards.)

Some programs have a file such as "uninst" in the Program Files
folder, intended for kicking off removal. If a .msi was installed,
the system may have cached and kept a copy of the msi, and the installer
logic is in there if the system needs it for install, repair,
or removal.

I don't understand the install process well enough, to guide
any further than that. I still don't know how an install is
"registered", and how you can "make" it go back to Programs
and Features. No idea.

To mess with folders, might require some interaction with
the hidden desktop.ini file in a folder. If hidden files are
made viewable, you can see into files like that. desktop.ini
can be viewed with Notepad. It could be that this involves
shell32.dll, a file frequently referenced in a desktop.ini.
The history of Windows, is it does not take kindly to theme
edits, so normally the files involved with have some amount
of armament to prevent this sort of thing. For example,
a binary edit by a programmer, of shell32.dll, the system
is going to fight that. On Windows 10, Windows Defender
would likely shoot the application in the foot, if it tried
that. Windows 7 just has spyware protection or something.

Doing a name.exe.bak at this point, you have other things
to try first.

Once your solved your problem and would like to do a really nice job on
folders with all sorts of options, try or buy

https://foldermarker.com/en/

I use it all the time and it is great, but it is not freeware.

Actually, I was using the free version of Folder Marker. See

That's the program whose update blacked out my computer screen.

Thank you, Paul. I tried to use RevoUninstaller, but it lists only the programs shown in Control
Panel | Programs and Features. I'll do a full backup right now and then try System Restore.

I think I would try to install a fresh copy of the program to the same
folder then use unins001.exe from the program folder or Revo
Uninstaller to try and uninstall it again.

Thank you, Rene. I did that, and it worked--for the most part. There's still a FolderMarker folder,
and in it are two other folders: icl (within which is a file named Everyday.icl) and Menu (which has
nothing in it). Do you think it's OK to delete the FolderMarker folder and its subfolders at this
point? I might consider installing the program again and would like to do a clean install.

Yes, you should now delete all folders and files pertaining to 'folder

such as everday.ici, Christmas.ici, glossy.ici, etc.

Just for information, over the years I have been using this program I
have amassed the following categories, Some bought and some were
freebies from the company.

Main
Numbers
Years
ABC
Glossy colors
Glossy birthday
Glossy apps
Glossy ABC
Everyday 10
Colors
Additional

This is also my way to support the Ukraine battle against the terrible
war which is illegally carried out by Russians (Criminals).

FolderMarker is a small software company located in the Ukraine and
deserve our support, I have also donated some small donation to help in
their war effort.

Thank you for the information, Rene. I had no idea the company was in Ukraine.The only thing I've

donation, since I don't think I need more than the colors.
