Not thinking in technical terms, I had an idea in the
back of my mind that the
99 file was for a newer version/type of Win98, which
brought on my original
question! So since my non-techical suspicion seems to
have been correct,
I shall proceed to throw the baby out with the bath
water, and just forget
about it! And I have enough daily e-mail coming in
from different advisors
that would alert me to any update of critical files,
plus I use Windows Update
regularly as well as many other checks and balances
that are recommended
by Microsoft and others! Thanks for the input and
advice!
