Minor issue: deleting ATI files

[hawkeye81x]

I just got a new GeForce4 and I was cleaning my computer of ATI files.
But everytime I delete the dll, etc... files from my System32 folder, they keep reappearing.

Anyone know how to permanently get rid of those suckers?

What OS are you using?

There is a guide to removing old Ati driver remnants over at Rage3d Forums.

It keeps reappearing because of the files in the dllcache folder (plus system file protection in winxp). Grab a drivercleaner utility (it supports both nVidia and ATI) or rename the extentions of the files you want to delete in the dllcache folder (i.e., .dll to .bak or .old).

You can find driver cleaner here

Sweet.
Thanks all!
The file cleaner worked like a charm.
