Ok. I'm tired and now I've gotten frustrated since I cannot get this
simple script (attached) to delete either of the indicated keys.

What am I overlooking?!

If you're wondering I'm writing this for my Sister and a couple of
other, not so computer savvy<g>, folks who would like to remove the
two indicated icons from their desktops.

WAG...

Your installer is 32-bit and their machines are 64-bit. You're deleting
from the Wow6432Node instead of the "real" registry node you want.

YMMVAPD ;-)

Don't know if it will help, but maybe check out the help for "Set x64
Mode" ?

So many options, so little time!<g>

Thanks for the reminder.

Jane and Jeff,

After you both jarred my head out of its complacency<g> I went the
hybrid install route which has now been tested on both 32 and 64 bit
OS's with great success.

THANK YOU BOTH!!!!
