 FR> I've been using Juno for about 1 1/2 years now, and I noticed that on
 FR> my hard drive that I have about 176 sub directories under "Ads".
 FR> So is it safe to delete most of these directories?
 
 BC> Delete the entire ADS directory.
 BC> JUNO will remake it with the nesseccary files in it, the
 BC> next time you start the program.
 FR> Are you sure this will work without screwing up the Juno program?
 FR> Sounds too easy.
I thought so too, at first, but I took to deleting that 
directory with everything in it, everytime I exited JUNO 
and nothing bad happened. 
 
 BC> Get rid of ads permanently (at least in JUNO v1.38)
 BC> Change to \JUNO\LIB directory.
 BC> Copy JUNOTYPE.MAP to JUNOTYPE.OLD
 BC> Using a TEXT editor, open JUNOTYPE.MAP
 BC> Delete this line: filetype aa AD_ARCHIVE server
 BC> Save file.
 BC> JUNO won't know where to put ad files, so they get deleted
 BC> with all the other temporary files.
 BC> Every once in a while something shows up in:
 BC> \JUNO\USER####\GET  directory
 BC> So check and delete as the case may be.
 FR> This sounds too confusing;  I will try your first suggestion.
If you know someone who knows how to modify an AUTOEXEC.BAT 
or WIN.INI or SYSTEM.INI get them to help. 
The JUNOTYPE.MAP is a straight text file.
