may I say, sometimes it depends? Normally, the advice is to leave them in situ - when all is well and good. But, if you are having some problems or quirks with your version of JAWS in use, and need to uninstall and then reinstall it, as between corrupted downloaded versions and CD versions, then you would or at least could remove shared files during that uninstallation. (I did all of this when I reinstalled the first full eelease of JAWS10 from CD. No ill effects resulted.)

I have several old versions of JAWS I no longer use. They're versions 5, 6, 7, and 9. I'm wanting to keep version 8 and 10 installed and remove the others. I know that I'm going to be prompted about removing some FS shared files when uninstalling the previous versions. Should I remove the shared files or keep them intact.
