Ben,
I suppose it took me 24hr of stewing on what you replied; rather than just
saying, "No, I do not know how you can remove those items." Truly,
perhaps I can not remove them. Fine. I was simply asking if it is possible.
At first (2/3) I gave up to your personal label for my PC behavior. 24hrs
later I responded again. If you took it as nasty, I apologize. I did not
intend to be nasty. On our List we do get to agree to disagree. This may
be one of those times. I may be paranoid, but with the PCs I build with my
money, I am an unapologetic control freak.
Hope this helps.
Best,
Duncan

Why, on 2/3 did you send a much nicer message, and then on 2/4 get nasty

Ben,
I do appreciate your bold position. I even acknowledge that you have a
greater grasp on this OS business. Perhaps I am not so paranoid, but
rather I am very curious about what goes on with my machines. Yes, based
on my very limited understanding of the OS I chose to use, except for
many years of using its' parent in a commercial space.
I do build my machines to do what I wish for them to do. If I am wrong,
so be it. But, when I find stuff on a given machine that I believe I did
not install or enable, I ask this List. This is an educational resource
for me. Excuse me if I struck a nerve.
Have a new item to question. Just noticed that the subject machine now
has a new icon on the control panel - Wireless link. I have taken the
machine apart and can not find any wireless gadget anywhere. Can I kill it?
Best,
Duncan
