GAC Uninstall: Access denied

I am sure you have seen this before and as frustrated as me.

After going through several google searches,this process works

1) When you launch Windows Explorer, there is no easy way to "Run as Administrator"
2) Since Explorer does not have Admin rights, you get "Access denied messge"

To fix

1) Launch Task Manager, and Kill Windows Explorer
2) In Task Manager, go to File-> New Task (Run...), Type explorer and check "Create this task with administrator privileges"




3) Once the explorer launches, you will be able to uninstall from GAC
