I did an uninstall once when I was trying to bring my old Win ME system over to XP. It failed and I finally did a clean install.

You don't use the folder directly. You have to find the spot that allows you to uninstall. I don't remember exactly where it is but my two best guesses are:
1) Control Panel Add-Remover Programs

2) Programs-Accessories-System Tools - System Restore

If I am wrong you can find it easily by just hunting around the programs on the machine. It is there!

Can you not back your stuff up with something like Nero and do a clean install? I mean did you convert your drive to NTFS because if you did there is no way Windows will convert it back to FAT... It has to manually done with a 3rd party program.
