you're welcome. i'm not targeting winme, in fact i wouldn't mind trying it for awhile soon. i just seem to be running across these articles lately dealing with the system restore feature, and i'm seeing problems with it. here's an excerpt from a "Smart Business E-Letter" .... "PROBLEM: You've upgraded your operating system to Windows Millennium, and now something keeps taking over your PC and accessing your hard drive in the background. While this is going on, your PC becomes almost completely unusable due to the tremendous slowdown. SOLUTION: The most likely culprit for your PC's slow performance with the background processing of files is the new System Restore feature in Windows Millennium. If you don't need this new feature, or you just can't stand the way that the System Restore utility takes over your PC from time to time as it backs up system files, you can turn it off. Here's how: open the Windows Control Panel's System applet, switch to the Performance tab, click on the File System button, switch to the Troubleshooting tab, and check the "Disable System Restore" check box. For more information on the new System Restore feature in Windows Millennium, select Help from the Windows Start menu and search on the keywords "System Restore."
