For example, AFAIK, a MFC dll (such as mfc42.dll) cannot be removed (sharing violation?) using an app that needs the same MFC dll to run. Actually, it is possible under NT or XP - you can rename/move (but not delete-delete) a loaded DLL, and put a new one in it's place, so the next app that tries to loadlib will get the new one. And uninstallers can uninstall running exe's/dll's by having the system do it on reboot. Now, whacking something like mfc42.dll will definatly wreck big chunks of the system that needs it...

I have two of my college classmates here (I am living with one of them now and the other one is in a nearby city). We plan to get together and perhaps go somewhere. I suggested Napa valley so that I can see some snow for the first time in my life. But one of the other guys suggested that we stay at home and make a Trivandrum style lunch cum dinner. lauren wrote: have a good one You too, Lauren. Merry Christmas. Or at least as merry as a south african can be in new york :-) Nish

(1) This is a repost. (2) Are you making an IE and WMP removal tool? (Didn't think so.) (3) Do you only write opensource software to support wealthy monopolistic companies? I'm sure MS loves you for working for free on their behalf. Maybe they'll reward you by letting you count their money for them. (We all need dreams, afterall.) ------------------------------------------ "Isn't it funny how people say they'll never grow up to be their parents, then one day they look in the mirror and they're moving aircraft carriers into the Gulf region?" - The Onion

#1> ??? #2> Not a bad idea, but I use both of those, so don't really have a reason to want to remove. #3> Open source has been around for years. I used to write 'free ware' back in the late 80's/early 90's which is the same thing. Open source is great for tooling around, but it's been taken a little to far these days. The IT business is about making money (as are most businesses). If you want to dick around with free stuff, fine - nothing/noone is stopping you. But if you want to be serious about programming as a profession, you dont give it away unless you are academic or non-profit - when was the last time you saw a doctor or lawyer crapping in their own nest as a rule (sure they do some pro-bono, but that's not a primary path)? I disagree with just about all tenants of the opensource movement as it currently exists especially the parts related to the GPL. I'm glad for microsoft for being successful - it's not a bad thing. Sun is a bunch of whiney pricks. I've used their stuff for years and it's not bad, but they are getting overrun quickly. There is not alot of reason to run their stuff these days, and I don't use/want java - so this project is a way to get rid of it, as it will shortly be forced down our throats even if we don't want it. Cheers...

1> I had seen a similar post earlier. I went back and found it and it mentioned java2trash (it was posted by you a few days ago), but that post didn't give a URL at that time. http://www.codeproject.com/lounge.asp?msg=374217&kw=java#xx374217xx[^] 3> I'm glad for microsoft for being successful - it's not a bad thing. Sun is a bunch of whiney pricks. Microsoft has strengths no one else can touch. I'm not surprised that Sun has to pursue legal means to level the playing field. Some people have even (stupidly) suggested that if Sun wants to compete, they should create their own OS to compete against Windows and bundle whatever they want with it. (So, apparently, only multi-billion dollar companies that can build their own OS and successfully win the OS wars are allowed to stay in the software business.) I don't use/want java - so this project is a way to get rid of it, as it will shortly be forced down our throats even if we don't want it. Isn't that the same as WMP and IE? I think the only way Microsoft will ever behave itself is by cutting it down to size. Microsoft is abusive because it can get away with it. Now you're working to make them stronger. I think that is *absolutely* the wrong thing to do. Now I get to look forward to even more monopolistic bullying behavior from MS. At least the only people who will use java2trash are Microsoft lovers anyway. ------------------------------------------ "Isn't it funny how people say they'll never grow up to be their parents, then one day they look in the mirror and they're moving aircraft carriers into the Gulf region?" - The Onion
