Removing files without cleaning registry is WRONG and will harm even windows. It for sure _WILL_ break Wine or rather programs that see stuff in registry yet can't find it on the disk. > well, he didnt really want to remove all of his software installed anyways.. for the registry stuff i use ccleaner (www.ccleaner.de) its a nice tool to clean up the windows registry and even works great in wine -- Marcel W.
