Laurence Chen -see his post- is right. CP lets a number of traces in the system.
I was capable to put CP in action beause a week ago I suffered a problem that
compelled me to format the entire bloody thing, so I begun from scratch. By the
way, to format from time to time is not so bad  after all, provided you have
saved all your lovely stuff. It is a quick and safe way to clean the computer of
all the shit that accumulates with time. And to install again a program than
comes in Cd Rom just take a minute or two, no the big deal... Let us say half a
day of work in a weekend.
