Actually charles, you can uninstall fine because the uninstall files are
usually just put in the games' folder separately from the setup files, ----
or the games' already been written to the registry so you can just use
add/remove programs.
I keep most things on a backup external drive, and when I was installing
games onto my laptop, I just installed them streight from the setup files on
the drive because (unlike on my desktop), I don't have the drive space to
hang on to all the setup files.
I tend to generally save files as a matter of course so that I can always
install the program again after a crash, or install it on another machine,
unless their things like program update patches, in which case I just run
them directly.
As to viruses, I've never had anything nasty happen when directly running
files, and the times Avg has interfered (as with night of parasite), it also
complained when I downloaded the file.
sinse running essentially does the same thing as downloading and
saving, ---- accept that instead of saving the file in a location of your
choice then running it, it's saved, then run from the temp directory which
gets deleated every so often, i'm afraid i don't see the security difference
myself whatever internet explorer may say.
Beware the grue!
