On the contrary. I gave advise on what to look for in the registry, what

what files to get rid of, you're right. There are simply too many files to
memorize to write down and delete. Maybe a call to FS tech support is in
need.

I believe that what everyone's trying to tell you without having to admit it
is that we really don't know how to completely uninstall JAWS.
