    i don't get what you mean, did you not mean to install it and want to get rid of it?
    If so click start> control panel and click add/remove programs, it should be there for you to un-install.
    if you installed it but now can't find it, click start> search and type in all/part of the program (preferabley a file name that you know is in the folder) than right click on it and click open containing folder.

    Sorry if this is not what you were asking,
    Mike

    If your Lemmings program is the problem here try manually uninstalling it.
    Uninstall Programs Manually

    Just because Windows XP has the Add/Remove Programs feature it doesn't mean your application will appear in the list. Furthermore, even if it does appear, it's no guarantee that the uninstall feature will work. When you run across one of these situations the items listed below will help in getting rid of the application. Be aware that these steps may not remove everything associated with the application and can impact other applications on the computer. Have a backup or restore point and use caution.

    *

    Find the directory for the application and delete all the files in the directory. Delete the directory.
    *

    Open regedit and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE and find the folder for the application. Delete the folder.
    *

    Open regedit and navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE and find the folder for the application. Delete the folder.
    *

    To remove the application entry from Add/Remove Programs (if present) open regedit and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Uninstall and find the folder for the application. Delete the folder.
    *

    Some applications have Services attached to them. If this is the case, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Servic es, locate and delete the service.
    *

    In Windows Explorer, navigate to the individual user settings and delete program references. Common places to check would be:

    C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs and delete relevant entries.
    C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup and delete relevant entries.
    C:\Documents and Settings\%YourUserID%\Start Menu\Programs and delete relevant entries.
    [Do this for each User ID listed]
    C:\Documents and Settings\%YourUserID%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup and delete relevant entries.
    [Do this for each User ID listed]

    If no entries were found in the previous step and the application launches automatically, navigate to
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows
    and delete the entry.
    If this is not the issue please provide more detail as to the issue.
