MORE INFORMATION ================ Most of the files are not removed because changes that are made to Security Accounts Manager (SAM) and the security registry hives that are not removed require the SP6 or SP6a version of the files. You must not remove the files after SP6 or SP6a is applied unless you fully restore your computer to its previous installation of Windows NT 4.0. The following files are not removed after you uninstall SP6 or SP6a: Certmgr.msc Comcat.dll Comctl32.dll Crypt32.dll Cryptdlg.dll Cryptext.dll Cryptnet.dll Cryptui.dll Dssbase.dll Dsssig.exe Enhsig.dll Initpki.dll Lsasrv.dll Mscat32.dll Msoss.dll Mssign32.dll Mssip32.dll Msv1_0.dll Odbccp32.cpl Odbccp32.dll Odbcint.dll Pcomdrv.sys Psbase.dll Pstorec.dll Pstorerc.dll Pstores.exe Regsvr32.exe Rsabase.dll Rsaenh.dll Rsasig.dll Samlib.dll Samsrv.dll Schannel.dll Secauth.hlp Services.exe Shfolder.dll Softpub.dll Spmsg.dll Syskey.exe Winlogon.exe Wintrust.dll Wldap32.dll Xenroll.dll Additional query words: ====================================================================== Keywords : kbenv kbsetup Technology : kbWinNTsearch kbWinNTWsearch kbWinNTW400search kbWinNT400search kbWinNTSsearch kbWinNTSEntSearch kbWinNTSEnt400sp6 kbWinNTS400sp6 kbWinNTS400search kbWinNTW400sp6 kbWinNTSEnt400SP6a kbWinNTW400SP6a Version : winnt:4.0 SP6,4.0 SP6a Issue type : kbinfo ============================================================================= THE INFORMATION PROVIDED IN THE MICROSOFT KNOWLEDGE BASE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.
