But there is something else that is fishy with what you are saying. If the uopdate service presents you with a list of possible updates and you unclick one of them because you don't want to install it it makes no sense that an update that you asked not to have installed would cause something to be removed. Let me admit at this point that this discussion is covering the automatic update and the Add/Remove Software feature which are different. I don't know which one caused the problem but I do know I was never asked to confirm a deletion . -- ======================================================================= When a lot of remedies are suggested for a disease, that means it can't be cured. -- Anton Chekhov, "The Cherry Orchard" ======================================================================= Aaron Konstam telephone: (210) 656-0355 e-mail: akonstam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
