Usually an uninstall will do the exact reverse of what the install did, with the exception of user specific settings. ie, if the original install installed: C:\folder1 - Settings - Programs Then when you run it, you create a file in Settings (say call it user.pref). When the uninstall script runs it tries to delete the settings folder, itself knowing nothing should be in there, and finding a file. Usually you'll be given an option, or the files will be left. > Anything that is deleted would have to go in the recycle bin. Not necessarily... not many programs actually send files to the recycle bin over marking them as deleted. > Short of that is just shareware undelete programs. They don't seem > to come in freeware. If you have a copy of the Win95 CD, and maybe up to and including Win98SE, there is an old DOS command called undelete which you can run per directory and recover files. There is also quite a few freeware apps floating about that can do it too, but nothing commercial grad that can recover and repair files that have been partially written over. - -- Jonathan Angliss ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: Fingerprint: 676A 1701 665B E343 E393 B8D2 2B83 E814 F8FD 1F73 iQA/AwUBPb9wOSuD6BT4/R9zEQIJwgCg/gFt05VJKD2tH6uBEXKHR+/2yVkAn2fX RYxw4BxjQKNaAIEPzPtOsX/T =vP9w -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
