Wouldn't the MPTS fixes be included with the regular fixpacks?  If not, can 
they be found at the usual places like where the other fixpacks are found?

CheckIni... hmmm...  I think I have that kicking around... will that clean 
everything up?  Would be nice to do since I'm sure there's stuff in there 
that should have left when I deleted certain programs...  Do I have to drag 
the client icons to the shredder before I run CheckIni?  Do they get rebuilt 
on the next reboot?

Hmmm... thanx for the tips, Will.  I've kept a copy of this message for 
reference.
