    I take it you have not seen a 95 reinstall, which has to be done
    to correct the registry as well. Complete reinstall, wipes out
    the desktop as well. At least the OS/2 install does not.

    From a support standpoint, binary INI files provide less
    problems than ASCII INI files. However MS blundered in that
    regard by letting anyone into it. And understanding their
    policies to try and control it has been a researching nightmare
    of conflicting statements, hit and miss procedures.

    There are good points and bad points to this type of INI file.
    Only problems I have are with those that place their information
    into the user.ini instead of thier own. After time, the INI
    becomes bloated and overall performance can suffer unless its
    cleaned out.

    Later!
