Can anyone assist with ideas on how to get rid of all remnants > of this garbage program once and for all? Garbage program? Actually Nuts and Bolts is the top utility of it's type. It has consistently out-performed Norton Utilities in tests and magazine reviews. Which is probably why McAfee bought the company. But if you want to remove it -completely-, you need to reinstall it and then use IT'S uninstall routine NOT the windows uninstall. Once you have reinstalled the software, look for the REMOVE NUTS & BOLTS option within it's area of your START menu. -- Jim Meagher ===== Micro Solutions Consulting Member of The HTML Writers Guild http://www.ezy.net/~microsol International Webmasters Association 410-543-8996 MS Site Builder Network - Level 2 member ===== The PCSOFT web site always needs good submissions.
