If I understand well what you mean, Vista has versioning of that kind, you can ask to see older versions of any file and restore the one you want. A small caveat is that for files that don't exist currently anymore (deleted) there's no GUI to get them (or one I haven't spotted yet) and you need to make a dummy file with same name, then right click it and go to Properties, then ask for the older versions (there's a special tab for that on the dialog). Not sure if the Basic version of Vista has this functionality available (I tried it with Vista Ultimate) ---------------- George Birbilis ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Computer & Informatics Engineer Microsoft MVP J# for 2004-2007 Borland "Spirit of Delphi" 3D, QuickTime, QTVR, Java, Delphi, ActiveX, .NET components, Robotics http://www.kagi.com/birbilis http://birbilis.spaces.live.com _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
