Hi, Out of curiousty can someone pls tell me how these time related shareware work. I mean say u r using a sharewareon 10 day trail and after 10 days u uninstall it. But I notice when u download than again even after years they do not work as some they recognise they have have been used on this machine before. How does this work.If they leave some mark in the registry can that be removed?
