Hi Larry, This is a fair point, my friend, but, actually, do whatever is easier since, in fact, they both call the same uninstallation procedure.

I will get up there within the next hour or so, after dinner that is <smile>. Just wondering about something though. This might sound a little trivial, but is there a difference in the add remove routine and that of the uninstall Programs option? It seems that the uninstall program might be a bit faster, though I'm not sure about safer. But I guess we all no that MS would never steer us wrong. The uninstall programs is also in the control panel. Just curious.
