Norton SystemWorks [UNPLUGGING YOUR BROWSER - 08/18/99] "UNPLUGGING YOUR BROWSER Some Web sites download plug-ins to your hard drive that add functionality to your Internet browser, such as support for special video and audio effects. Plug-ins are often useful and speed browsing, but you might install a plug-in for a Web site and then not visit the site again, or if you do, a newer version of the plug-in may be available. To check and eliminate unwanted plug-ins, first disconnect from the Internet. Then click the Internet Sweep tab in the CleanSweep 4.5 main window. Click the Plug-in Cleanup button, and scroll through the list. All plug-in files color-coded green are not essential to the browser's operation and can be removed safely. Yellow plug-ins are included with the Web browser, and you should use caution when deleting. If Safety Sweep is on, you won't be able to select yellow-coded files, only green files. To turn off Safety Sweep, close this dialog box and click the Options tab. Select Configure CleanSweep 4.5 and then the Safety Sweep tab. Check off to be able to select yellow-coded files and return to the Plug-in Cleanup button. Put a check in the box next to each plug-in you want to delete, and click the Clean (Alt-E) button to delete the files. Click Next, and CleanSweep 4.5 will ask if you wish to confirm the deletion of each item." [i followed their instructions and just 'cleaned' the green coded files. got rid of three unnecessary plug-ins taking up 200kb of space.] :) mark
