Hi Joe --
Restore and Recovery are not viable options. I don't have a System
Manual -- the computer was put together by a shop down the street. It
didn't come with any software pre-installed.
I'd sure like to take a look at your software manual. Is theer any
chance you could describe the procedure here?
I'm thinking of deleting all the files that say "Microsoft" on them.
That will leave a bunch of other files -- some without any company name.
By the way -- is there a way to indicate who is installing files in my C
folders? Like with the Mac -- you could color-code them.
And as for Jane Doh -- I killfiled her ages ago.
