You need to start being a LOT more careful about what you
are wishing for!

There is a "secret" directory that gets established when
you install IDL 7, named ".idl". You need to find that
directory and command it to hell. Then try your IDL
7 installation again. Normally, this is installed in
your home directory. If you find a directory named
IDLWorkbench7, or something like that, say good
riddence to that, too.

Cheers,

David
