As I stated in my reply to the most recent posting by MichaelM, my "long-windedness" 
was the result, at least in part, of expecting behavior consistent with other sites 
which oblige me to use their "protocols" rather than my own e-mail client to post 
messages. He pointed out a solution to the same and I am now using it.

You suggest that I am "lazy" in asking for information in this forum rather than 
looking for it on the web. My experience in searching for items on the web is that 
too often the "results" do not speak to what I am trying to accomplish.

I know that part of the problem could be the terminology used. I have been involved 
with publishing for almost 40 years, and when I first started to use PageMaker, I 
was puzzled that I could not find how it did screening. It was not until I was asked 
to do a review of a third-party book on PageMaker for the Association of Professional 
Genealogists that I discovered why. What the industry calls "screening", PageMaker 
calls "fill".

I also have found that internet search engines can often yield hits that are not 
germane even when  "exact match" is stipulated, or fail to turn up the specific "hit" 
needed that can show up when using less specific criteria, with making that determination 
requiring looking at multiple sites one by one in the former instances and experimenting 
with the search criteria in the other. Surely there has got to be a better way?

Looking at all those $NtUninstall folders, I could find NOTHING that identified the 
specific program associated with ANY of them. I got nowhere searching the internet 
on $NtUninstall... itself, so am I using the wrong perimeters, the wrong engine(s), 
or does the information simply not exist?

From your comments, it is not clear if PCDecrapifier will provide me with any help 
on those specific folders, but I will certainly give it a try.
