in the article referenced in my #reply-13793135 post

i'd like to call your attention to a specific line in the following set of partial instructions...

"To Backup your Windows 95/98 Registry manually:

1.Open Windows Explorer
For Windows 95, in the View Menu, choose Options and
be sure that the box Show all file types is checked
For Windows 98, in the View Menu, choose Folder
Options and click on the View tab, and see that Show all
files is checked under Hidden Files
2.Be sure the box Hide MS-DOS file extensions... is UNchecked in
both Windows 95/98 and hit OK
"


the question being, in my win98se explorer, i closest i come to Hide MS-DOS file extensions is the selection Hide file extensions for known file types. do you think these are the same?

btw, the above pertains to a manual method of reg backup/restore that, as my previous post indicates, may be less efficient than the scanreg tool. i'm curious more than anything else as to why my explorer differs from the linked instructions.

:)
