| Why delete it? You can disable odbc tracking instead. |

| Windows 2000, and windows xp Will attempt to replace any critical system files that you are deleting. It is not wise to randomly delete DLL files from the windows systme32 folder unless you have put them there yourself or you are following instructions from a software vendor. You can kill windows installations very easily, making a clean install necessary.Guess how I know? |
