Hi members, Some experts recommend a registry as well as a User.dat and System.dat files back up prior to installing a new prog. The question is where do I find the User.dat and the Sys.dat files? I am told they are in the C:\Windows folder, but I can't find them. Can anyone, please, tell me what's the easiest way to find these little darlings? I am running Win98SE.
