I run Delphi 2006 in Win32 VCL mode. I never use Component One or Rave. I
want to lower the footprint. How do I stop these packages from loading?

Thanks,
Larry

Uninstall them, they were both installs you had to have installed
sparately from the cd. They should be in your add/remove programs from
control panel.

You might find the bds.exe parameter, -r, for "alternate
registry" helpful. To use it, make a copy of the shortcut
copy of the BDS launch you want from the Windows Start
menu. (you probably want the one that launches only
Delphi Win32 which means it will have bds.exe -pDelphi).
Then in this shortcut edit the properties to also pass
-r, e.g. bds.exe -pDelphi -rMyAlternateReg. Then when
you launch via this shortcut a new registry is created
under current user, MyAlternateReg. This can then be
trimmed by you all you want, e.g. removing packages
both in the IDE or via editing the Registry directly.
This is helpful, e.g. if you want a lean almost empty
IDE to debug a different IDE with packages you want
to debug. At any time, you can delete MyAlternateReg
from the Registry and start over if you want. Or you
can have many, ("MyAlternateReg" can be any name you
want).
