Hi mark, Yes, I'm familiar with the remnants left behind after a Windoze uninstall.

mark, While we are on the subject. It's not that I don't like my Norton AV2001, sorta.... but I'm wondering if any of these other uninstall utilities would be of equivalent worth in your opinion: download.cnet.com In particular, I doubt a quarter of a million folks could be wrong: download.cnet.com Though the warning about committing to buying it is amusing.

And while we're at it, wondering if you have an opinion on some of these registry cleaners: pciwest.tucows.com All comments welcomed! Ciao, Ray
