Larry,

What is WAG and how to set in on?

Ok, so we got the web and I found that they created a dllcache folder in the winnt/system32/ folder. Ok so I waste time on that, delete in that location as well. Some worked, games are gone, but I found some other machines that have a windows\system32 folder. There is not a dllcache folder in there, and the registry does not contain anything on a dllcache search. I am still getting the games popping back on these machines. I am not sure if they were upgraded or installed on FAT32 to give them a windows folder instead of winnt.

Who decided that the majority of people would want games (if deleted) and decided to put it into the restore function of the OS?
