W98UNDO.DAT by Rodney
With some spare time in the offing, I opened XT Gold, logged every file on my computer and sorted in descending order of size. This fellow was evident at 300Mb and unknown to moi. May I give it the kiss of death? or is it important.

The day before yesterday, Win98SE began doing its restarts at an initially very slow pace. On my 2000 Compaq Presario 7AP190, the red "Compaq" now appears on the screen for about half a minute instead of a few seconds, and from then on until part way through the low-res Win98 greeting...
