Twice now I've had to RE-INSTALL Win 10 after uninstalling EchoLink!!! I 
went to their

web page to gripe BUT after reading this fingered out that it's called 
"operator head space"!!

Military jargon we, in the Crypto Field, used for DUMB operators!! 
Copied this

directly from the EchoLink website! Pass along to anyone/ everyone you 
know using WIN 8/ 10

and EchoLink!! In WIN10 if they try to uninstall it, it messes up the 
Start Menu button, the task bar and

you CAN NOT open the Action Center where most setting buttons reside!! 
Everything else,

all installed app's works fine!!! Thank God I know how to reinstall WIN 
10!! No sure how it affects WIN 8!

Ironically it ONLY affects the user account where it's installed, other 
accounts will function at 100%!! ??? Why

did I want to uninstall it?? It got quirking and I wanted a "clean" 
install of EchoLink!! Hindsight is 20/20!!

This is a self-extracting installer, which installs the program and the 
help file.  Download this file to your hard drive and then open it to 
begin installation.  After installing, you can run EchoLink from the 
Programs section of your Start menu.

If you are upgrading from an earlier version of EchoLink, *do not 
un-install or delete your existing software*.   Simply download and 
install the new version, and the software will be upgraded 
automatically, retaining all of your existing settings.

*Windows 8 Users:* There is a known problem with the InstallShield 
un-installer on Windows 8 and Windows 10. Please do not attempt to 
un-install this EchoLink package after you've installed it. An updated 
package that is compatible with Windows 8 and Windows 10 is in the works."
