 Hello Bob,

 BL> Jeez! Don't do that!

 BL> At the very least, save *all* the ini files, and the pif files, 
 BL> and all the dll files in c:\windows and c:\windows\system both ... or
 BL> you'll have to restore the whole bloody thing.
 
 Yeah, I did all that - and then copied them all back after
 reloading windows for the umpteenth time. Miraculously, it all
 booted up fine, without a trace of the previous problem. Fucked
 if I know.

 Dieter
