thanks sedative:

good to see you again

i did the system restore
and i found a couple of directories in the program directory were empty

so windows deleted the applications

it was a program called sonar

it deleted the program but left some files there

i just wanted to know how severe restore can go


if i say to someone to use it and it deletes their office installation along with thier netscapo navigator etc....
i could have a big headache

but if it just stops the program from loading and hide the icon from the desktop ok....
but deleting the whole program spells trouble for some people


what if it deleted some favorites or something

i dont know

its good to talk about it

thanks again sedative for giving some insight
