Moderators hazelnut Posted June 22, 2006 Moderators Share Posted June 22, 2006 In the control panel add and remove programs list, when you highlight one it nearly always says rarely used with a date from way back. What is the reason for this?

TonyKlein Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 You're right, it isn't very reliable: see screenshot (I ran AAW as recently as yesterday). It looks more like the date I actually first installed it... Tony CLSID List - A Collection of Autostart Locations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DjLizard Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 There's a lot of guessing algorithms in place, for those programs who didn't follow all of the (optional) ARP guidelines.

I installed one program on my computer that took about 4 MBs and Add/Remove listed it as 3,500 MBs!! Guessing indeed... Save a tree, eat a beaver. Save a tree, wipe with an owl. Every time a bell rings, a thread gets hijacked! ding, ding! Give Andavari lots of money and maybe even consider getting K a DVD-RW drive. If it's not Scottish, IT'S CRAP!!!
