walter i did delete those files before, but not in this version and not in
dos.
probley why the problem kept cropping up.
i use a program now from cyber media called
the uninstaller for windows 98
it also cleans out history and cache by default when useing the quick clean
feature.
that quick clean is also
a registry cleaner.
one can also add the cookies folder so it cleans it out, but this does require
a little work setting it up.
plus it is the easiest uninstaller i have used.
