Clearing a checkbox should remove the program from the PPC, but not the PC,
since the program isn't on the PC to be uninstalled.


Thanks Todd. Yes, of course, that makes perfect sense! I haven't got
around to re-installing those 30-40 progs on my new PC. Still
ploughing through installing the 150 or so *PC* programs!


Frankly, I don't bother reinstalling my PPC programs when I change/upgrade PCs, unless there's a PC-based component to the program (like the file converter in Adobe Reader.) I generally just copy the .cab file installed on the (old) PC to a folder on the new (called something clever like "Important PPC CABs") so I can copy the .cabs to the PPC via a card reader when/if needed, and bypass the Activesync/WMDC "add programs" function. (The most important cabs I permanently keep on my PPC's storage card marked as read-only for quick reinstallation in case of a total disaster while away from my PC.)
