when you install some thing on you computer do you need to keep the setup thing?

I keep all that stuff in a "download" folder so if I ever want to back up all my downloaded programs (so I can wipe the hard drive or something) I don't have to download them all again. Also, if I want to pass Firefox along to a friend, they won't have to download it. (Dial-up is prominent where I am.)

Typically, if a newer version of software is installed and you want to install an older one, the program will promt you of that fact.  It may not let the install happen.  If not, you can always format your hard drive and install the version you want.  Of course, that woudl erase everything.

It doesn't really sound like a system essential. Try to make a 'restore point' including program files and uninstall it, you can always go back to the 'restore' point where you had your program installled.

if you saved your old settings then its just a matter of going into add remove progs and uninstalling xp and that should leave you with your old me. \n\nif you didn't then I'm afraid the only way is to format drive as you can not install an older version of windows over the top of a newer version (windows will not let you do this) no matter what way or how many times you try . \n\ni recommend you keep xp as there is no more support or security/patch updates for me.most software now being written will be for xp and vista. but at the end of the day when it gets dark its your choice.

Windows Installer is used by a number of legitimate applications.  I wouldn't remove it unless you have a very specific reason to do so.

Ask the person who has administrator privilages.  But I think you can install programs and stuff if you aren't on an admin account.

Well you should first backup your files anyway. Keep in mind that once you install it you may not be able to go back to Windows XP without a complete re-installation. Also keep in mind that the BETA release will probalby expire.\n\nYou should be able to run the setup program from within Microsoft Windows XP. From there it should be straight forward. However, doing an upgrade such as this with a BETA version is extremely risky. I had ill-effects from the most recent upgrade I did.

You might be able to have a professional back up some of your C: (Just parts) but other than that, you need to put in the installation cd. This will how ever destroy everything.

You can remove it in your control panel->add/remove programs. But you may need it, some programs use .NET Framework, in order to use them you need .NET Framework installed.

yes you can. it will show up as a hard drive in your "my Computer".

It is stored TEMPORARILY in your temp folder and is not stored so that you can save it. There are programs available that will allow you to do this but nothing local to your computer.

An installation program almost invariably inserts a "key" in to the O/S registry. When the files are deleted the registry key remains and this can royally fuck with your system.\n\nUnistall programs are there for a reason as is the "add/remove programs" entity in the control panel. If the guy doing the uninstalling doesn't realise this(or, even worse, ignores this) then he shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a business network.

Nah, just format D:, assuming you don't have anything there you want. If you do, you'll either need to move what you want to keep off of it first, or you can just go through and delete it manually. As long as you're booting from C: it shouldn't be using any of the windows files on D:, so you wont have any problem deleting them.
