Default Re: Warning on uninstall hack

A handful of programs have made it to shelves that have very harmful bugs in the uninstall program. Most of the bugs seem to follow a pattern:

1) They only occour when the program is installed in the non-default directory (IE, a directory other than c:\program files\publisher\game\)
2) They tend to delete everything on a drive.

These aren't absolute, but some programs are known to have these problems. If I recall collectly, Myth II and Pools of Radiance both suffered from these bugs. There are a couple of other games, but I don't recall what they are. This is exactly why I _never_ make use of the uninstall feature of Windows.
