There is no right answer. If you use it and it works for you, you are right to be using it. On all but one of my boxes I do use it. The one I don't use it on doesn't have a cd or floppy. For me it works, has been since 7.2. If however it doesn't work for you, or gets in your way. remove it. I personally remove msec. Why, some of the things I need to do for testing get hosed by msec. Does this make your wrong for using it.... no. In general if you can't find a problem it just might be because for you..... there isn't one. James
