I second Networm's advice on fast find. Disable immediately.
As far as I know, except for swap files, which you can control
yourself, and for TEMP files, which you can also control,
neither NT nor Win 95 write anywhere but on their own
partitions and the inevitable scribbling on the C drive.
boot.ini, ntdetect, ntloader, and your scsi driver (if booting
from scsi) have to be in the root directory of the first
partition of the C drive (read that the drive from which
the bios reads the master boot record). Win 95 requires
a small directory on the C drive with the same name as
the win 95 directory on the boot drive (if boot drive
is not the C drive), as well as a handful of junk in
the C root directory. I don't know about Win 98.
The real culprits are applications, such as MS office,
Pagis pro, and various other paternal packages that
"make your life easier" by making over your world in
the idiotic image in the software designers fevered
and none-to-large brain. Sorry, got a little carried away <G>. |
