    I apologise for the doublepost, but it's been a while since the last one and there is a new development.

    Oh well, not a spectacular one. But today being a good day for experiments at the Adrianses, I decided to give this thing a try. So I installed and ran the Decrapifier on a 10 month old Acer with Vista Home Premium -- and I was quite disappointed.

    First off, I got a message saying it couldn't find any crap on my computer that was worth wiping. I suppose that by their standards I have sufficiently decrapped the thing myself over the past 10 months.

    However, after I had closed the program and rebooted (ever the cautious amateur) it appeared that it had inadvertently wiped my usual start page and replaced it by the MSN start page.

    Something I hadn't asked for.
    Cleaning personal preferences or caches isn't even in the list of options of the Decrapifier.
    Yet it had managed to do this.
    Without my consent.

    And in computerland, my friends, that is a definite no-no.
