| 48545 | 2002-05-12 23:59:00 | In my Prog FilesI have a folder called<Chat> which has a sub folder called <Comicart>. This contains dozens of files all entitled with the names of people and the extension.avb eg Hugh.avb; Anna.avb etc. They won't open and seem to be read only files. The folder consumes almost 2= MB of disk space and I don't know where they came from as I don't participate in chat forums.How would this folder got on to my Drive? Can I safely delete the main folder or at least its sub folder with safety. | Guest (0) | ||

The names represent the people you can choose in this comic chat type program. MS likes to install bloatware whether you use it or not. Have a look in the add/remove section in windows setup as it maybe found in there somewhere. |

Used to be great fun, their expressions change in response to what you type, and you could download other colourful characters, but I digress... MSN used to use these IRC servers but now offer web based chat rooms. Chat 2.5 can be removed by going to the Add/Remove component in Control Panel, and selecting the Windows SetUp tab. Scroll down and click 'Communications', then click the 'Details' button. Remove the Tick next to 'Microsoft Chat 2.5' then OK click your way out of the boxes, you may need to re-start your PC. Done J. |
