Hmmm..
Get rid of anything that id's itself in the Spybot window as a DSO (Data Source Object it should say) various cookies, and anything else that isn't Windows internal.
Spybot will replace Alexa with Google, that's okay.
I haven't gotten rid of Windows Media Player's registry stuff with Spybot, I'm not sure how that will effect Windows Media Player.
I'm not aware of other things you would need to worry about, there's a list of 'caveat' proggies you need to worry about somewhere but I don't remember where I saw it, so you might be able to 'deselect' the Windows Media Player registry stuff and nuke the rest.

Not sure what you mean by "instead of desktop I get program files, where do I go form there?"
But WinXP acts differently on my machine than it does on teh other machine here.
My machine sticks stuff in different spots.

Thank you so much I see all are checked
