That sounds easy, thanks Scott! One other thing I was wondering about: the Start Menu is also affected by another reinstall. After a few reinstalls, it starts to get all jumbled because it's reading from several Windows system root folders. Therefore, before I attempt a reinstall, would it be wise to rename the WINNT folder to something else, perhaps WINNT2? Hopefully during the reinstall, it will create a fresh WINNT folder. Then, assuming the install works fine, I can later delete the old WINNT2 and ease some of the Start Menu clutter. Will that work?? I don't want to do anything I'll later regret.
