In the past I have never deleted any registry folders either and have had no problems. Even with the CS planes I have used their uninstaller and then reinstalled without making registry changes mentioned in their KBs' with no apparent problems.

Glad to hear FSX is running okay. I have had no major disasters since February of this year but maybe their is one just around the corner. I am using Norton Ghost to make images of the whole system when I have installed addons and believe the system is stable. I also do weekly backups of data files such as new downloads, documents, routes, favorites, Flight Simulator X Files, FLIGHTPLANS, Windows Live Mail storage folders, etc. For the images and backups I use two external HDs'.

Thanks
