I don't know why things speed up, but I did move the files (5 megs of
them) to a zip disk in case I ever needed them, but I never did.  I
mainly ran the program to clean out unused files as I was running out
of storage on my old computer.  Now, with my screamin' machine <G>, I
have scads of room (for now, anyways) at 10.6 gigs.  A few stray DLL's
won't hurt anything :o)
