What was the purpose of that Win setup that I removed? It sounds like it would have been used to "setup" Windows.

You now will not be able to add any additional items or customization to your current setup. Once you do a full restore, these files (cabs) will be restored and you can again customize your system. --- Keith Thompson
Thanks, Keith ... Now the followup: 1. How are these cab files in "Win Setup" different from the cab files found in C:\Windows\Options\Cabs? 2. Next time I do a complete Restore, if as you say, the Win Setup is helpful (meaning they are different from the above cab files), then what might be an example of a file where I would need Win Setup, and how would I use Win Setup to get that file (just as an example). --- Harold ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
