Any notes on Component Zapper usage?
Friday, October 19, 2007 by DaveRI | Discussion: Stardock Support General
I saw a reference on another post to the Component Zapper, odnt_zapper.exe. I always like having a good scrubber handy so I've downloaded it.
I can't seem to come up with any notes regarding it's usage though, and I'm reluctant to run the exe to see what it gives me. Is that what I want to do, will it give me any instructions or options (including canceling), or are there some guidelines floating around here somewhere?
Thanks.

You get a window with choices to check on what to uninstall. It not a 'run it and yell oh crap! nooooooooooo!' kinda thing. Skins and backgrounds and such you want to keep - move or copy somewhere 1st.

"Don'tcha hate it when that happens?"
Thanks Bichur, I was kind of wondering at what point exactly I'd be pulling the trigger.

definitely
you can run it, take a look at it and close it - I do think it needs updating to pick up newer versions of stuff.

It will remove any application under Object Desktop. This will not include Multiplicity, Object Dock etc.... it was updated last Christmas I believe but I still use it for testing purposes here. No complaints at all.
