"So if you didn't like how Windows was behaving, you would format C:, install Windows and then copy over from the backup w/over-write?" No. I rarely have trouble with non-windows stuff and haven't ever needed to format C:. Usually when things mess up, windows doesn't run. I rename c:\windows... to c:\oldwin... before unzipping and making a new copy of c:\windows... After I have this copy running, I delete c:\oldwin... Keeping c:\oldwin... means I have copies of recent (since zipping) stuff just in case it's needed. Just a thought -- I'm using Win 3.1 with DOS. Maybe Win 95, 98, 2000, or NT is sufficiently different these methods don't apply. Hope my attempt to help hasn't made a mess for you. PW.
