I noticed, for example, that the Excel Services Service Application is listed in both managed and unmanaged lists. Gary, I am somewhat confused over exactly what is managed and what is not.

I had overlays at a site, and then we got the url of the site changed. (Basically this was done the crude way, creating a new site collection and then restoring the old site on the new url.) Everything except the overlays work. Because they are creating the old url. I am trying to delete them, and can't since I get a "file not found" error. Any ideas how can I delete this? I can always create new Overlays at this place. but deleting old one's is important. I uncheck the check box for the overlays that throw an exception, but this is a user-wise setting. If I can do this for all the users, even that can help. Any ideas, please let me know. Hi Gary,
