Good morning to you Alan, how are you today ? 

 SH> Incidentally, I would not mind knowing how to remove items from
 SH> add/remove programs in Control Panel.
 
 JP>         It is more or less intuitive.

 AZ> I think he meant removing items from the Add/Remove list when they no
 AZ> longer have a program to remove...

        Oopss ! I sure did not grab this. It would be a problem as
        follows...

 AZ> There was discussion about removing folders of files added
 AZ> by MS patches or service packs-- if you manually delete the folders,
 AZ> you won't be able to remove the service pack (etc), leaving an orphaned
 AZ> item in the Add/Remove control panel.

        I had a funny occurrence in this regard. All the SPs disappeared
        from the Add/Remove dialogue and I had not done the trick on
        them AND all the $uninstallxxxx were still in WINNT. I really do
        not follow this now. That is me !

 AZ> You can get rid of such items using Regedit-- but easier is to use
 AZ> TweakUI.

        I did get TweakUI but I do better going to DOS and even using
        deltree as you showed me. Maybe I should give TweakUI a further
        look and trial. I did not do so good with Logon in it. But
        again, that is more than probably due to me.
        .
