Is that what you meant by copyright? Oops, my bad

This shouldn't be surprising at all. It's common for user preferences to be left behind after applications are uninstalled. Some apps will ask if you want to check your preferences or not when you uninstall them.

@Smothers65: thanks for the update!

Peace...

You missed his encore.

I disabled his account. We don't need members like that here.

Just in case anyone's interested, Google Chrome does not install it's program files into the Program Files folder -- it installs into each users profile, under Local Settings. Meaning it has to be installed for each account on the PC. Meaning 75 MB of program files for each user on the PC. And if you backup your profiles, that's an additional 75 MB of disk space needed for each profile (not taking compression into account).

And for some reason they put their safe browsing list with the user data, instead of the Application files.

Seems like a pretty dumb idea to me
