Version 6.0 Palettes

[WetBlanket]

I have installed several palettes in my Version 6.0 system. This is a
nice feature. However on one occasion I made a mistake and installed a
palette that I did not really want. Is there a way to remove a
palatte from the installed list ( the list you see when you clikc on
Palettes on the band at the top of the Mathematica 6.0 window?

Thanks

You can get the pathname of the installation by evaluating...

ToFileName[{$BaseDirectory, "SystemFiles", "FrontEnd", "Palettes"}]

or

ToFileName[{$UserBaseDirectory, "SystemFiles", "FrontEnd", "Palettes"}]

depending upon whether it was installed in the user directory or the system
directory. You have to delete it by hand (you could use DeleteFile in
Mathematica, of course).

There are still a few rough edges around Install...expect more improvements to
be coming. But I'm glad you find it useful.

Sincerely,
