Denys,
 
I know that it may not be apparent to you but maybe there really was a
reason for me to deinstall Windows 95.  Suffice it to say, I did have a
reason having to do with testing and convenience.  When you say that you
presume I deinstalled 5.0, maybe that is part of the problem.  If you
spent just a little less time presuming and a little time actually
reading posts, you may find that your responses would be actually germane.
 
I didn't say that Windows 95 needed a deinstaller because of disk
management and I didn't say that I can't use my disk space >512
megabytes.  The whole purpose of my post was to let people know that
there is a deinstallation process which works and one that doesn't.
Since many people are now in the greater that 512 megabyte realm of disk
storage on their PC, and (though you can't seem to come up with a valid
reason for deinstallation, they do exist in worlds outside your own) may
need to deinstall Windows 95, my post may save some people some money.
 
Geez, lighten up.
