What a complete load of garbage that is. Just checked half a dozen I use every day, and it reports that five of them are 'used rarely' Two of them haven't been used since January last year it states. I was using them this morning. No wonder GE etc gets randomly deleted.
Where does Microsoft source its employees? Which reminds me of the problems Wang Computers had a while ago, when they announced their new slogan 'Wang Cares'

Plan A is always more effective when the problem you are working on understands that Plan B will involve the use of dynamite

In earlier WIN versions if you go to Control Panel - Add/remove programs - the list, when populated informs you which applications are used frequently or rarely etc.... W7 has a cleanup routine that removes desktop icons that are little used and apparently some that are frequently used

Wang! My goodness never thought I would hear that name this century. They were the first network computers I used and it was marvellous to be able to share data and it also had a database called PACE (IIRC). The maind benefit at the time was its ability to have a DOS session as well so we could run Lotus and dBase as well. The good old days when people thought I was clever because I could make things work automatically!

We had a Wang where I worked as well Peter but prior to the Wang it was PDP11's and before them a Singer & it was as slow as a sewing machine & I don't think Mickeysoft have improved on that.

Blimey I didn't think it was a proper 'putor name, thought it was Carnaby trying out another variant of his 'wang cares' word play!!

Most of London now available for 1945 ish, although looking at Heathrow I would think it is later

Heathrow's north runway seems to pre-date the rest, probably by no more than a year but that is a long time given the rapid change. You can still make out the original layout too.
Also the London block includes Langley, Weybridge, Wisley amongst others.

Oh my gosh, I thought openings for the following old joke were gone forever. Thanks for the setup!
Did you know that in the Garden of Eden, Eve was a computer expert?
She had an Apple in one hand and a Wang in the other!

Does anyone else here struggle with reinstalling GE once it has disapeared from the computor?
I have just tried countless times and and follow the sequence through to when it says finished, but then can't locate it in any files or open it, seem to remember it did this the last few times - very frustrating!

Might be relevant, you're not running 64-Bit Windows 7 by any chance are you? It installs to a different location and appears to 'vanish'
If you are then its hiding in C:Program Files (x86)GoogleGoogle Earthclient
hope this helps
