Hey Everybody:

I got me a new toy: A while ago I zipped my Windows folder (from my Win98 install) onto a backup drive (as per PW's suggestion). Later, as you know, I had troubles with ie5 and found out I couldn't uninstall it.

So, I remembered I have that earlier version of my Windows from before I messed up ie5 (messed it up by deleting the files in the Temporary Internet folder).

I booted to my Win95 disk, deleted the Windows folder on my Win98 disk, and replaced it with the zipped copy.

Booted to my Win98 disk and voila!!

I used Zip Assistant 4.0 -- it's free. Took about 5 minutes each way to zip and unzip. Poor man's Drive Image.

Still have an un-uninstallable ie5, but at least it works right...

Thanks for the idea PW --

wily
