Re: Uninstall Everything.

H-

Thanks for the info.

I was able to unistall all the files. I did have to manually delete the
directories that have the database data in them though.

Your email did not contain any HTML and I'm not sending html messages. I also
had Netscape 6 and promptly uninstalled it the same night. But that's just me.

Thanks again and take it easy.
