Dear folks, Looks like good information to me, so I've forwarded it back to the list. Anthony J. Albert ------- Forwarded message follows ------- From: "broc" To: "Anthony J. Albert" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: W98 question on inf files Date sent: Wed, 25 Oct 2000 13:45:25 +0200 | So, yes, you can delete most of them. You need to keep the ones | for any hardware that you have, and any hardware that you expect | to install. Since it's not necessarily easy to tell which INF file is for | which hardware, without opening the file, it's probably easiest just | to leave them alone. In my Win98 installation, there's about 14MB | of them... so on a 12GB drive, I feel a little generous, and will leave | them. YMMV. :) tip: a lot of inf files contain settings for modems [mdm*.inf] so if you don't use a modem for your internet connect, but use an Ethernet card like me, you can safely delete all the mdm*.* files [more than 150 !] and save about 5 mb. ------- End of forwarded message ------- ============================================================== Anthony J.
