Go up one level in this thread


(Un)Install programs are great -- *PROVIDED THEY WORK PROPERLY*.  I love them,
except when whoever programmed them did something braindead, in which case I
hate  them, because it's much more difficult to find all the stupid things
distributed throughout the registry than it is to just blow away a directory
tree or two.
