| 424474 | 2006-01-26 21:05:00 | hi, can someone just tell me, that some programs in the add/remove programs have : (Remove Only) , next to them. Wat does this mean? Thanks |

MS Office, for example, should have a Change option beside it, which you can use to enable additional features from your Office CD, rather than having to reinstall the entire program or suite. |

| 424476 | 2006-01-26 21:28:00 | So, if, lets just take CCleaner (Remove Only) for example. If I uninstall that, will it be completely uninstalled as if I was uninstalling MSN Messenger? Thanks again =) |

| 424477 | 2006-01-26 21:32:00 | Theoretically yes. Chances are there will still be traces of it on your machine, because Windows rarely seems to do a good job of cleaning up after itself. You'll no doubt end up with pointless registry entries etc, but they're not going to do any harm. | pixeldust (6619) | ||
| 424478 | 2006-01-26 22:27:00 | And if your Registry gets bloated with redundant entries you can run a reg cleaner. I think Spybot S&D even has a reg clean up facility. | mark c (247) | ||
