Isn't it also a good idea to back up INI files? [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.intrepid-video.com www.tech-repair.net www.thetoolcaddy.com www.9-11-2001tragedy.com ***********************************************************************
----- Original Message ----- From: "Keith Thompson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I've done this in the past. Also used the DelTree to remove Windows and its subfolders (after backing up all the dll's, etc.) The main problem here is that I have about 60+gigs of Stuff and an un counted number of programs for graphics, sound, genealogy, etc. To reinstall all of these is just a real mess. I've had success in the past with reinstalling to repair, but this time it wouldn't fix the 'find target' option. I realize that it shows the location in the window for the properties and this is what I am using, but its just a little faster to use the 'find target'. Thanks for the response.
