no, it's a cobbled together heap of trash that only gets used because it has a better marketing department than anybody else and it runs all those "legacy"* applications that the manufacturers can't be arsed to support on any other platform.
--- Quote ---Is it just MSIE being a dicklick?

My question is this:
Are there any commands I can use to search the disk to make absolutely certain the file is not present, because the HJT 018 cannot be removed in normal or Safe mode?

no, not within windows. the best advice is to boot from a knoppix disk as advised above by somebody else, then use the "find" command (http://heirloom.sourceforge.net/man/find.1.html) to find it.

see my last answer.

I had a bit of trouble at first but Windows XP actually runs pretty smoothly on my machine. I've had no viruses/malware, no blue screen of deaths, no spontanious reboots. It's only locked up on me once in a year - it just locked up, the mouse cursor wouldn't even move!
I admit it, XP is not the best OS and I would like to upgrade to Linux but it doesn't fully support my hardware. I would change my hardware but I use some Windows programs for which there is no good Liuux equivalent and they won't run under Wine either. :( I will keep trying though - Linux is constantly improving and one day the software I use might have a decent Linux version or at least run under Wine.
