I'm uninstalling 10g from Windows NT (workstation), and although the instructions provided by Oracle in their CD documentation are pretty good, there is one ambiguity with reference to registry keys. The documentation refers to a number of characteristic strings in the registry ('oracle', 'orcl','ora', etc), including 'ORADC'. Can anyone tell me if this includes the following keys: "_DORADC" and "_DORADCEvents", Each appear a total of twice, in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/Interface and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Classes/Interface Should these keys be deleted too? thanks very much, peter edinburgh -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
