Hi, I would recommend that "All user data" not be the path you go down. Training Data and Configuration should be treated separately. This issue pertains to the experiment configuration data and I feel this should be treated separately form the non-experiment configuration data. I am suggesting that there be three levels of selectively removing user information during an uninstall. 1). Training (all or nothing) 2). Standard configuration (all or nothing) 3). experimental configuration ( selectively by parameter). Paul

[More reasoning snipped] Perhaps we could enhance the uninstaller so that it included an option (defaulting to off for all the reasons you outlined) to "remove all user data". It could pop up a warning "This will permanently remove all your training data and configuration. It will not effect the mail stored in Outlook" or something. I'm not sure how simple it is to modify the Inno uninstall process, but I imagine it could be done. _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/spambayes Check the FAQ before asking: http://spambayes.sf.net/faq.html
