This concerns a program I downloaded to my desktop but didn't install;
Thunderbird - an email program by Mozilla. First, I was surprised it
downloaded to the desktop without asking where I wanted it. I was given two
options: Install or Remove. I chose Remove. The file went away but the
window remained open giving me an option at the bottom to Close. I closed it
and was surprised to find the icon on my desktop. I highlighted it and found
it contained slightly less than the size the program was reported to be;
exactly the size, however, if I roughed to a whole number.
Thinking I missed something about in the download instructions, I repeated
the process and decided to let the download complete again to the desktop. I
ended up with TWO icons. I deleted one and left the other. NETHER of these
two were "installed".
I just ran a search for "thunderbird" and found the desktop entry, a Recycle
bin entry, three Temporary Internet Files, three mozilla entries identified
simply as "mozilla (www.mozilla.org)" , one "texturizer (texturizer.net)"
and one "Windows\Prefetch" entry. All these entries appear to be preceded by
either a dot, a apostrophe, or pipe "|"... but not as long. I have no idea
what those little marks mean that precede everything.
I could use some comforting that I haven't screened anything up here as well
as some instructions for getting rid of the icon that's armed to begin the
setup routine. I've read more about the email program and don't think I want
to tackle it at this point. Outlook "ain't broke" yet so ... why fix it!
