Hi Coleen, I can say this about removing from the reg, I have removed a file msbb.exe from the reg and anywhere else I could find it and it comes right back, I have a bridge.exe that I can't get rid off and a n-CASE whatever it is I can't get off either, I am so mad I am about ready to format and see if that will remove them. Yours Hank ----- Original Message ----- From: Col een To: pctechtalk Sent: Saturday, February 28, 2004 8:21 PM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Quick question on Reg Keys I have found quite a few things in my registry that I am 100% certain are bad things. Can I delete them from the registry? Is it that simple? Just delete and they're gone for good? Also, stupid question I know and I'm not sure how to word it - will deleting them from the registry remove all the folders and files and icons that go with them that are spread thruout my computer?
