As I understand it you don't need to use Windows for removing CFT versions. I think you can just delete the apprpriate folder with the program and database files. CFT is unusual in not using the Windows registry, so there is nothing to remove from the computer apart from the files you can see in Windows Explorer. Is there nothing in the manual about it? Check before you take my word for it. Tim Churchill.

Tim, I believe you are right. CFTW programs - both V.2 and V3 - does not 'install' in the Windows way, they are just sitting there in there folders with an .exe file and all the other files they need, waiting for someone making them run. As easy as in the good old DOS days. And Walt, in that case you just have to identify the folder with the V.2 version (use Windows Explorer as sugested), mark it and hit Delete - and it disappears (into the waste basket).
