Tahnkyou to various people, and one final question

Hello folks.

Recently, some friends of mine had 4 instances of XP showing up at boot, and after 
help I was able to edit their boot.ini file so that it only showed 1 XP, and manually 
delete the 3 Windows folders that weren't needed. Their pc is now booting straight 
into the good XP, and is working well, touch wood.

So, for the assistance I received with this, and other advice, I would like to say 
heartfelt thanks to the following people, before one final question, if I may:

re the boot problems specifically:

and

Also, specifically re AVs advice:

thanks to: mojo7819, Morbid1,  Anne Engellenner/aengellenner, Otter, BHC

...and finally, specifically re defragging programs

thanks to: Special-K, Morbid1, John Burns

Thanks to you all....very much genuinely appreciated.

Now then, one more question:

Might there be any other files on their pc (apart from the windows folders I removed) 
where any bits of the not-needed installations of XP might be residing, that I could 
also go and remove ? Just wondering.

Thanks again.
Manuel.
