thx for your answer

I got the solution from the support, so i put it here if anyone else needs it

Hi,

Here is some information we have posted on our web site about uninstalling the program.

Thanks,

Before uninstalling, be sure to close Macro Express. Normally, to uninstall Macro Express, open the Control Panel, click on Add/Remove programs, highlight Macro Express and click the Remove button. You should also be able to click Start | Programs | Macro Express | Uninstall Macro Express.

If you are running Windows XP, 2000 or NT, installing and uninstalling Macro Express should be done when logged in as an administrator.

Occasionally, however, these steps do not work. When that happens, try one of these possible solutions:

1. Reinstall Macro Express and then uninstall it using one of the two methods mentioned above.

2. In Windows Explorer, browse to the folder where Macro Express is installed and double-click on unwise.exe.

3. In Windows Explorer, browse to the folder where Macro Express is installed and drag the file install.log on top of the file unwise.exe.

4. Using Windows Explorer, browse to the folder where Macro Express is installed and copy unwise.exe and install.log to the root (or top level folder) of C:\ and then double-click on the file unwise.exe.

5. If all of these methods fail, you can delete all of the files in the folder c:\Program Files\Macro Express3 and, using RegEdit, delete the registry entries in
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Insight Software Solutions\Macro Express
and
   HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Insight Software Solutions\Macro Express

Depending on which version of Windows you are using, this method may leave the uninstall Macro Express option in the Control Panel under Add/Remove Programs. You may need to remove this entry using RegEdit. Look at the registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\ CurrentVersion\Uninstall. Remove the subkey named Macro Express 3.

Note: Changing the registry is dangerous if you are not careful. Incorrect changes to the registry can cause various problems with Windows. It may even cause your PC to no longer start up. If you are not comfortable checking and changing the registry, you should ask someone familiar with the registry for assistance. Proceed with caution!

    • Darwin Mach Kernel/ BSD. Which is both open source.
    • You mean BSD. The UNIX kernel is not open source.
    • I have been on Linux Mint full-time since Jan 2019. while there is a learning curve, it's worth it if you can make the switch, which I can. I mainly browse web, play some games (generally Lutris(Windows games), or through emulators (MAME/Mesen/Flycast etc) etc), and use a small amount of Windows programs (Foobar2000/7-zip/WinRAR/ImgBurn etc) etc. it's nice to dodge the bloat/BS of Windows as you can really feel Linux is all around faster, especially certain things. p.s. recently I enabled NTSync for games since Linux Mint recently offered the 6.14 kernel, which has NTSync support (it's not enabled by default though but you can enable it temporarily for your current boot of the OS through 'sudo modprobe ntsync')
    • A rotten article full of handwaving of anti-consumer practices. Aside from the fact that no, not even close to every piece of major software collects information about its users, ethical developers make such telemetry opt-in and allow it to be completely disabled. To use KDE Plasma as an example, you're shown a greeter upon first boot that gives users the option to send the developers telemetry, with the default being off and 'off' actually meaning off. Windows 10 has never offered that capability - only a promise that Microsoft will slurp up less of your data if you spend time tweaking 50 different privacy settings. There is still absolutely no way to completely opt out of sending Microsoft telemetry in any version of Windows 10 (or 11, naturally). Even using group policy in Enterprise editions only allows you to reduce telemetry to the bare minimum. Home-focused editions don't even get that option. Articles like this dismissing user privacy concerns as "FUD" are a part of the reason Microsoft felt confident enough to go so much further with Windows 11. I guess you get what you deserve in that respect. Personally, I finally made the move to Linux after 15 years or so of dabbling with it, but never really considering a permanent switch. Enjoy your bright, shiny Windows future. You asked for it, after all.
