:Is this also a question about getting things out?
:Not to be a wise guy - but, each program "does its own thing",
:which is why even a good "uninstaller program" often
:has trouble tracking everything down, and in most cases only
:gets rid of "just enough" to be (kind of?) safe...
:Also, some things put in are shared, and file associations are
:"switched".  The list, and possibilities are endless...


At which point, begs the question...Why do unstallers ask *me* if I want to delete
shared files, etc....I was kind of relying on the unistall program to make those
decisions...If I wanted to get *that* much knowledge of programming, I probably would
no longer need the uninstall program...

If anyone has anything to add to answer this or comments on when one should or should
not delete shared files, etc....or why this process is even kicked back to the
user....I would love to hear more....My theory is "When in doubt, don't do it"...but
why isnt the uninstall program taking the same path instead of possibly allowing an
enduser to render his machine useless or at least create problems....
