...which begs the question John: how do you have PCworks emails from 2 years ago? :-) -Clint
Happy New Year to all & God Bless Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com ) http://ComputersCustomBuilt.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "John O'Flynn" < To go back in a more serious vein to Harold's original question: I asked the very same question on this list several years ago. Clint's advice then was that unless I was short of HD space and knew just what I was doing, I should leave it alone. I took his advice. Toni's advice, right on EasyCleaner (or perhaps this was on an earlier version), is that before you delete anything, you need to know, in each separate case, which alternative is the one you should keep, and if you don't know, leave it alone. Furthermore, Harold, you asked this same question about two years ago. Remember?? In case you don't, I'm adding at the end of this message two responses that you got at that time. Have fun with them! I'm fascinated myself by that great list of duplicates (and even trips and quads), but I haven't found time to play with it.
