Hi all,

I've noticed that in the repair option for IE6 (add\remove)
there is an advanced button that is greyed out. How do I get this to
activate for more options, just in case? I am currently running on
Windows ME.

I don't think that "Advanced" button has ever been active. Methinks it's a
forgotten leftover from something...

[Restore Previous Windows Configuation not selected, Advanced button greyed out]


Jon,

I remember seeing that button has to do with an additional dialog
about removing the uninstall files, etc.

If you want to reclaim the disk space,
you can remove the Setup directory by double-clicking the
Add/Remove Programs icon in Control Panel and then clicking
Internet Explorer 5.01. In the Microsoft Internet Explorer Setup
dialog box, click the Advanced button, and then click "Remove the
folder containing Internet Explorer setup files."

I can't remember what the conditions are for having it active
but it has definitely been active, even with IE6.

Click Restore the previous Windows configuration (or click Advanced
to specify any additional components you want to remove)

Thanks, Robert. Guess I've never seen that button active in all the years
I've been working with IE - since IE 3 - or my aging wetware has deleted it
from my cache.....aka my Temporary Intelligence Files. :-)
 
Yes, it is there for IE6.
I tried it once for no reason and will never go there again.
When I clicked "advanced" all the items were already checked.
I unchecked them thinking to keep them.
It removed everything! :) , the opposite of what it stated.
