Not so, Dwight. 1. When I go to the "Control Panel>Add or Remove Programs" and click the Change button, I get to the Setup Wizard for TBPro 3.5.26. 2. Clicking the Next button, I am presented with the option to Modify, Repair, or Remove. 3. Choosing Remove and clicking Next, I come to the Remove the Program screen, which has a checkbox at the bottom that is selected by default, but you can clear it. That checkbox option reads as follows: ~~~ Keep the working directory and all data files The Working Directorycontains all accounts, message bases and address books. Unchecking this box will delete all files from the Working Directory and all its subdirectories. ~~~ I attach a screen capture of this screen for your reference. My concern is that it makes little sense to have OTFE to maintain security of your data base on one hand and have an uninstall option that lets people uninstall that data base without the OTFE ID. I also observed that this concern is somewhat theoretical, because I believe that this uninstall option does not work as advertised. :-q -- Avi Yashar Windows XP Pro SP2 and The Bat!
