| 291219 | 2004-11-13 07:58:00 | AAaarrrrrgggghhhhhhhh!!! Right subject wrong person, very sorry Laura, had just been reading one of Marg's comments previous to this thread. Anyway, if I remember correctly, Thunderbird asks if you want to import various things from OE, etc, when it is first set up. Should be pretty smooth sailing, no need to hold back, close your eyes, take a biig deeep breath and leap woman, we'll pull you out if you get into difficulties (he he he... snort.... snigger).

| 291221 | 2004-11-13 10:00:00 | Laura, if you still want to get rid of unnecessary Windows components, I suggest for starters that you go through the Add/Remove Programs Control Panel applet and remove programs that aren't needed. Another area to look in is the Windows Components section, but that just scratches the surface, really. If you're really serious about conserving space, and you have Windows XP, I'd suggest going for an unattended installation. However, this entails a complete reinstall of Windows and all your applications (but it's good experience, and somewhat rewarding). |

| 291222 | 2004-11-13 11:06:00 | Agent: My thanks for your reply. No, we're not talking XP here. I have Win98SE. Yes I do know the Add/Remove stuff & have used it often.. But you have me intrigued on Windows Components.This is new to me. I'd be obliged for further info please. |

| 291223 | 2004-11-13 19:07:00 | Well, when you've opened the Add/Remove Programs Properties window open, go to the "Windows Setup" tab (it may take a short time to fully load). From there you can select to remove unnecessary components, such as games, networking components (be careful around there), accessories, and the like. |

| 291224 | 2004-11-14 08:45:00 | Thanks, agent Checking out the Windows Setup tab shows that I'd already done this tidy up at an earlier stage of my learning - just didn't remember it. So I'm probably running as mean & lean as I know how at present |
