>Window xp - SP1 and all latest updates installed. What I don't understand and maybe there is logical explanation. When the task manager comes up rather than having the original environment manager on the reinstall , I get all the entries in the environment manager that I initially established on the first install. It looks like the unistall is still leaving some files untouched.

That doesn't surprise me. That would be user data, so it wouldn't get wiped out.
