  Good morning to you Alan, how are you today ? 

 AZ> When funny things happen at my house, my 19-year old blames the ghost.
 AZ> Sounds like you have a ghost in the machine.

        Do not tell CA, it is called W2K.

 AZ> Two different things. From DOS using Deltree (or even using Windows

        The funny part here is that the opposite took place.

 AZ> which is what Tweakui (etc) lets you remove... Tweakui's
 AZ> Add-Remove options do not remove any actual files, only edit the
 AZ> Registry entries referring to the files.

        This would not be the case here as I have not loaded TweakUI on
        this W2K machine. It is only on the old P166. Anyway, I have
        deleted all these $uninstallxcxx but they are in the bin, just
        in case. I normally Shift-Delete things but in this case... !

        I just got out of BW and had a look at WINNT and also the
        Add/Remove window and they are nowhere to be seen. I can see two
        items, the Hotfix SP5 and the SP4. Would you think that one of
        these might have been all englobing and would have removed the
        listing in Add/Remove Programs ?

        Have a great day.
        .
