Published on July 11, 2006

Yesterday we wrote about Microsoft's free Private Folder 1.0 application that encrypts and password protects a folder on a desktop. According to our research and the astute eyes of one of our readers, the contents of the folder may not be so private. Johnny Granlund emailed us saying that he was able to access the folder simply by rebooting into Safe Mode. However upon further inspection, we found that files inside of the folder were still encrypted. Read more

When reinstalling an application is it better to remove it first or is
it better to simply reinstall it over the broken installation? TIA. Elphie

Not all applications have install/uninstall/reinstall readme.texts.

I think it really does depend on the application. Try doing a Google search
for the applications that you don't have information about reinstallation or
repair procedures. Type in something like How to uninstall ...name of
application. Or How to repair...name of application. I know that for
example, I have read a lot of NG discussions on the best way to reinstall
Xp, some think a clean install, rather than repair or In Place Upgrade is
the way to go. I have found a lot of useful information by doing a Google
search. I recently had to repair my Norton Av, and albeit, the directions
were somewhat lengthy, the recommendation was to remove all aspects of
Norton, then, reinstall.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Good luck, though. :)
