It is never a good idea, in Windows, to remove a program by deleting it from the drive. You never know what hooks will be left, what registry crap there is, and even if the missing file could prevent booting up next time. I don't know the answer (I don't use Windows), but tread lightly with this "delete" stuff. Mort, you should find a Chrome newsgroup or forum to ask your question, not the SeaMonkey newsgroup. -- -bts -This space for rent, but the price is high _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
