Why Does The Powerclean Feature Open In Read-Only Mode - McAfee UNINSTALLER 6.0 User Manual

Using PowerClean
When you install applications or executable files, you can often choose not
to add them to the Programs list. These application files appear in the
Disconnected Executables file group list.
To add an executable file to the Windows Programs list, select the file name
in the PowerClean list. Then click Connect to Start menu on the Tools
menu and specify where you want to add the file in the Programs list.
Why does the PowerClean feature open in read-only
mode?
When you click PowerClean in the UnInstaller main window, the PowerClean
feature opens in read-only mode.
You see a message box explaining that you cannot delete any files. This feature
protects you from deleting files or making other changes unintentionally.
Even in read-only mode, however, you can use the PowerClean feature to:
• Explore the file links and Registry entries on your computer.
This is a good way to learn how your computer works and what files it
uses.
You can select a file, and then choose File Links from the popup menu to
see what application uses the selected file.
• Create a custom file group.
Although you cannot delete, move, copy, or archive any files in read-only
mode, you can still define a custom file group to manage specific files
quickly. Creating custom file groups is described on page 36.
When you want to use PowerClean to manage files, clear the check next to
Read-only mode on the PowerClean page of the Settings dialog box. Open the
Settings dialog box by clicking Settings from the Options menu.
