is used for ?

If all the add-in gubbins have been removed, then the entry has been
written
to normal.dot.
Either use tools customize and drag the entry from the menu, or
use the destructive cursor CTRL+ALT+hyphen to select it (watch where
you click this!) or if all else fails rename normal.dot to
oldnormal.dot and use the organizer to move your customisations from
old to new.

Well, Magoo you've done it again! Before realizing that I don't need
Microsoft's Add-in, "My Places", I went ahead and installed it. I
had
to manually register the Places.dll file to get the "Set Places"
item
to appear in the Tools menu. Well, after setting it all up and
trying
it out, the Icons didn't change from large to small as they were
supposed to do. THEN... I saw that there was already an option to
add/remove items to the My Places column. Okay.... so I did what I
thought was reasonable and unregistered the Places.dll file and
removed all the associated Add-in files.

The problem I now have is that in the Tools menu, the "Set Places"
item is still there and I don't know what else needs to be done to
remove it. Have I missed something that I should have done in
addition to what I did? Is this just a matter of doing something in
the Registry??

Somebody want to bail me out of this one?
