LOL! I hadn't used Windows in so long for anything besides the occasional video game that I'd forgotten about the fun times I used to have with the Registry, trying to restore backups & the like. So fun I almost killed myself ...

Last time I seriously did anything with Windows was getting my MCSE -- wanted to kill myself then, and still do when I remember that I've got the thing [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

XP does have a decent System Restore utility; have instructed my users to run it many a time -- or have done so myself on their machines -- with success. The fact that it automatically makes a backup image daily is key.
