Dunno why this matters but it's a 100% Dell laptop, whose WinXP
operating system was supplied by Dell.

I do have the three recovery disks; but they install the same Dell
softare as what was originally on the laptop PC.

I do suspect these 'm' files are Dell specific ... but I would need
another Dell user to confirm.

If you have a Dell laptop ... can you do this?
1. Download & install CCleaner
http://www.ccleaner.com

2. Run the CCleaner "Tools" "Uninstall" wizard.

3. Tell us if you see the same 'm' programs that I see.
