Default About uninstalling programs

My thanks to you both, Harry and Mike. I suspected that the program's
uninstall simply called the Add/Remove feature so it looks pretty
much like a toss-up.


If this particularly concerns you you can always check what the Add/Remove
entry is calling by looking in the registry. In virtually all cases it is
identical to the entry installed in the program group by the program
itself since it is the program that also placed it in Add.Remove Programs
when it was installed. It is for this reason, that they are the same,
that many programs no longer bother to place an uninstall entry in the
program group and instead just place one in Add/Remove Programs when
installing.
