Do this, but it only works if your file system is NTFS. It keeps windows from recreating the Outbreak Express files on your system. 1. Explore to c:\Program Files\Outlook Express 2. Right click -> Properties (of the folder) -> Security (tab) -> highlight System (in the list of users) 3. Select No Access (permiss.) 4. Now you can delete the contents of the folder (DON'T delete the folder itself). 5. Delete c:\winnt\system32\dllcache\msimn.exe. That's it. You'll have an empty folder called Outlook Express, but the program will ber gone and your system will be that much safer.
