Guy, I have had good success with CleanSys (Clean System Directory), a 70 KB zipped freeware program available from www.ozemail.com.au/~kevsol/sware.html. I have used it on W95B and WinMe. The only problem I have found is that if you use Word Perfect, it removes a DLL which then disables the address book! However, DLLs are not deleted and can be recovered. Effectively, unused DLLs can be taken out of your system folder, but they still need to be stored *somewhere*, if not on a hard drive then perhaps on a CD or similar as none of these programs is perfect. HTH
