And following my own advice and searching for Mozilla in the Registry seems to produce a separate little folder for each version, the info in each of which seems very similar. In other words, would removing the bits referring to the earlier versions solve the problem.

On the other hand, sentences including "fools", "angels" and "treading" keep passing through my mind. :)

Upgrading like this does not affect your settings, which are kept in c:/documents and settings/user/application data

The thing is, as it came via the software update, it started the install as soon as I closed the browser.

I just assumed that as it did that, there must be a new feature which deletes the old version, if you know what I mean. I should have cancelled the install. :)

What you need is a very useful bit of software called Regcleaner - do a search on this forum and you should find a link, IIRC. Under the Uninstall section you should select Remove, not Uninstall, and it will remove the details from the Remove list in the Control Panel.

EDIT And to save you the trouble, here is the link. http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/sh...ght=regcleaner Scroll down to post number 5 from Bifta.

EDIT Oh, and the only reason that you see Napster in the list is because it came with ECM7. I'd hate it to be thought that I obtained it voluntarily. :)
