Hi Mac
Ok, let me post your questions with my responses afterwords so it's clear. 
and hey, no need to be all formal, this is a relaxed atmosphere where you 
can just be yourself. we're your friends and we're here to help.

Ok, you said:


>OK, I uninstalled win amp 5.02.  When I did this, a message came up saying
>something like "Not all of the program has been uninstalled- you must
>uninstall the rest of the program yourself", with an "OK space bar".  I can
>only assume that that involves the plug-ins, because they were "right there"
>(I think!?).
>Chris replies:

This is absolutely correct. You must delete the entire folder yourself and 
anything relating to it.
so if you go into c:\program files and you have a Winamp folder, send it to 
the recycle bin and don't give it a second thought.

Mac continues:

>Chris replies:

Hey, it's what we're here for. With regard to length of posts, it's clarity 
that counts, if you're as clear as possible it helps everyone get the 
question answered sooner and hey that's what the list is for. If you're 
really short and you say hey i downloaded this plugin and i don't know what 
it is with it, what should I do? that's not really helpful because we don't 
know what plugin it is, we have no idea what screenreader you're using, 
what kind of system you have, ...so many things factor here. so it was nice 
that you were so specific.

  Yes, it's Nullsoft who you got your e-mail from, and you can enter your 
registration key right from Winamp, plugins aren't the issue here, at least 
not with Winamp pro. So go back to the preferences, head up top to the 
Winamp pro area and press the space bar on the enter registration key 
button. Next a dialogue appears asking you for your 20 digit registration 
key.  Find your registration key and copy it to the windows clipboard, and 
then go back to the registration entry dialogue there and paste it 
in.  Then press enter on the ok button and you *should* be all set.
Also, thanks for the kind words. It's comments like that make it a little 
easier to be a list admin.
Thanks.
