I think that you may have somehow unpacked the installation files to your desktop. Are the names like: openoffice.org-activex.cab openoffice.org-base.cab openoffice.org-calc.cab openoffice.org-core01.cab etc? The actual program should be installed somewhere like c:/Program Files/OpenOffice.org 2.4. So, if that is the case, you should be able to delete the installation files from the Desktop. One of the first things the installer does is say that it needs to unpack the files. The default location (for English) is: C:\Documents and Settings\[user-name]\Desktop\OpenOffice.org 2.4 (en-US) Installation Files I suspect you unnecessarily changed that location to your Desktop. -- Bob Long P.S.
