I understand she has both re-ghosted and clean installed the OS and apps from scratch on many different occasions on her PC and on clients systems that she and the rest of her team supports. > Remember that Ghosting (or Imaging) preserves an installation "as is" > which will also preserve any faults, inadequacies, conflicts, viruses, > errors... well, you get the idea. The ghost images on both our PCs are variations of the corporate SOE (Standard Operating Environment) image which has been very rigorously tested and de-bugged, so there better not be any viruses - with 9,000 computers at Curtin it would be a pretty scary scenario! (though 800 of them are Mac OS X systems). I can't comment on any inadequacies though ;-) -Mart
