fwiw, i've appended a recent post #reply-14084213 (to which no one responded or commented on) to read as follows: **************************** prepare for possible pc catastrophes by regularly copying the following files (you may find only some of these) to a second hard drive, removable hard disk or diskette - especially if you frequently install and uninstall applications. if a software installation fails, it's important to be able to recover by restoring your system to its previous configuration. here are ten files to back up to enable such a recovery... c:\autoexec.bat c:\config.sys c:\msdos.sys c:\backup\autoexec.dos c:\backup\config.dos c:\windows\win.ini c:\windows\system.ini c:\windows\control.ini c:\windows\system.dat c:\windows\user.dat ***************************** my question, for anyone, is whether you have the autoexec.dos and/or config.dos files on your hd anyplace besides a c:\backups folder? my info has it that they should be in the c:\ root directory, but they aren't. anybody? :) mark
