Glo, It's only scary because you've never done it before. Just open up Windows Explorer and make your way to those locations. Once there, you'll see what I mean in the directions. No need for the restore point unless you'd like to make some occasionally just to test the process (which wouldn't be a bad idea). And I'm glad to see that you do still have your sense of humor, even if it has to fight its way through the frustration. Just remember, you've got friends that are more than willing to help you through the tough stuff, at least where your electronic beast is concerned. :O) Peace, GMan http://reddit.com "The only dumb questions are the ones we fail to ask!" ----- Original Message ----- From: "Glo" <redowl@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, November 29, 2007 3:43 AM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: Restore Point > G, I know, wah wah wah, call whine 1-1.
