What about additional binaries and changed configuration files (and the registry) that point to these (possibly incompatible) binaries? I only trust the installer to bring Windows back to the install state, and only after formatting the system partition.
I don't know. I don't want to know. I no longer use those systems, and try my best not to repair other people's broken winboxen. For my low competency level, fixing a winbox today simply mean reinstalling the OS and then installing my box 'o tricks: AVG antivirus, AVG antispyware, Zonealarm free, OOo, Firefox, and VLC. Maybe someone should port yum to windows :) Dotan Cohen http://what-is-what.com/what_is/bluetooth.html http://lyricslist.com/lyrics/artist_albums/94/buchcherry.html
