add/remove programs
13/May/2008 8:00
Under the 'add/remove programs' of the control panel, most of the programs listed have indications on how often programs are used. There are programs that I know I use frequently, yet the listing reports that I use the programs infrequently -- or I used them over a month ago. Why? Is this important? If so, how would I make corrections? Barry Karas

Because this part of Add/Remove Programs isn't accurate. Is this important? No. If so, how would I make corrections? N/A, see above. Not important, find something else to worry about.

If it is launched by double clicking on a target file (for example, a .doc file created by Word), then the launch is not counted. Similarly if the program is invoked from another program it is not counted.

stupidity is relative.
it's a good idea to avoid using it because the funny thing about words like these is that they are viewed by many as a reflection on your state of mind and limited cognitive resources, in addition to vocabulary. you will know when your in bad company when you use the word and people around you are humored and laugh. -- db·´¯`·...¸)))º "M.I.5¾" wrote in message ...
