I guess you mean you found a file called progman.cor (no space in between).
Anyway, there are no .cor files in my windows subdirectory (or any
directories in it) and I have never heard of it.
I guess some program made this file, however I don't understand the point
sine you can create all the icons by yourself (will increase Windows load
time since you don't add the unnecisary help files and documentation or
whatever there can be.)
The process to do this has been explained earlier on this list to you.
A reinstallation of windows is like this:
deltree/y windows
cd backup
rar x winbackup.rar winbackup.rar
cd winbackup
install
So no there aren't anything left at all from the previous installation. You
could however install in a new directory and thereby make it easier to
install other programs sine you just have to copy there .DLL files from the
old windows\system directory to the new one.
And don't forget to change the path statment in AutoExec.Bat
If the .Cor file is working as a .Ini file you shouldn't have any problems.
But my advice to you is to add/remove so you get your desktop as you want it.
