Uninstalled Music Match, but...
Courtesy of Dell (when I recently bought a PC), MusicMatch Jukebox was installed at the factory. Since I doubt I will ever use it , I went to Control Panel|Add/Remove Programs and uninstalled it. I also unchecked the box for "mmtask" in MSCONFIG|StartUp, although the line still exists.
So I was surprised the other day to find a folder (about 1.6MB in size) called MusicMatch Jukebox in C:\Program Files. It is full of files and, while I would not know, I suspect it is the full MM program, although there are no .dll files. I could see no UnWise.exe or Uninstall.exe, but there is a file named Unmatch.exe. MM no longer appears in Add/Remove Programs. It is not in Start|All Programs, nor is it running in TaskManager. But there are several references in the Registry and, as mentioned, the line for mmtask still is in MSCONFIG.
I guess it is not hurting anything, and I have plenty of space on the HD, but it seems silly to keep a program that I do not plan to use, and now am not sure how to access.
Can I just delete (shudder) the folder***, is unmatch.exe the uninstall file, or?
*** That is what MM recommends for Win2000 and NT

P.S. I never used MMJ so there are no music files to worry about.
