Thanks, Russ, Are things sane down there?
Is it to Australia that we FRIAMMERS can retreat when the madness becomes terminal? When Putin strolls upon the otherwise empty Northern Hemisphere stage and gives is triumphant soliloquy? The situation in Britain seems beyond crazy. Did you know that after the presently anticipated devolution of the UK.... Scotland, Wales, and after much grumbling, Northern Ireland, a radical new plan is forming for a Wessexexit? Who needs those bloody Celts in a Pure Anglo Saxon Britain? [sigh] Nick Nicholas S.

I always restore from backup, or from the original drive if it is still working. Getting rid of crap is a different task, requiring dedication and thought about what you do or don't need. I usually do that either when slightly bored, or when my disk is full and I'm desparate for space.
