In which case you have my sincere apology for generating the white noice ...
(when in doubt, run around in circles - scream and shout :-) )

It's just that putting things in the system[32] directory is one of the main
"features" of ms "plug-and-pray" technology.
My favorite uninstall program is 'del /s *.*', and any program supporting
this gets a *star* in my book. Due to various experiences with some
uninstall programs, I would rather install a new HD than attempt to use the
uninstaller.

(I seem to recall that you mentioned something like this a few days ago
... )
