I've now done that with no subsequent problems that I could see.

What made me nervous was the option in the 'properties' dropper for
the individual profiles for me to 'uninstall' which made me think that
there was more to this than a collection of individual 'icm' files to
be merely deleted. Then when the damned files wouldn't 'uninstall' I
began to wonder if they were somehow linked in with other software and
possibly the registry. There was also the fact that they seemed to be
sprinkled in a number of places, including 'Documents and Settings'. I
didn't know how they got where they did, or what they did when they
got there. I still don't know, but now I don't care. Many thanks for
goading me into doing the obvious.
