I just removed the Microsoft Office 2010 to reinstall a fresh one because the previous one is a trial and when I click start to use the Microsoft Office, it always load to page 4 of 4 and pop up an error saying that Microsoft Office is unable to start, I decided to remove it and brought to my school so the instructor can install a full version of Microsoft Office 2010 for me. But then inside the My Computer it automatically built up a "drive?" Microsoft Office Click-to-Run 2010 (Protected) (Q:) [doesn't have this drive at new bought]. I couldn't remove this nor using uninstall from the Control Panel. It run the uninstalling but while the process is popped up an error stated that the process cannot be complete. Please contact the Microsoft Product.

Anybody know the solution for this, please I need help.

here is the screen shot of the Q:

This is by-design. The Click and Run version uses AppV [1] which creates this drive.

    I believe if you open a command prompt and type compmgmt.msc it will open the MMC. Then select 'Disk Management' and regulate the messy partition from there.

    That is a typical programmer answer to the users;

     

    "You don't know what you want, I know what you want. If you don't understand how to use it, or if you think that it is hard to use, or if you think something could be done in a better way,

    then you're wrong. I've made it how it is now, and this is the best way."

     

    Please try to listen to the users. They do not want to see something that they do not use. What is the purpose with having a visible drive in Windows Explorer that NEVER will do anything else than anoying the user?

    Yes, that non-answer is annoying.

    The Q: drive being displayed is an attribute of Windows, not of Starter or virtualization. The Starter team very likely did not have way of hiding it, because displaying it is a Windows requirement.
