Restore points
W98 does not have a restore point. If you are looking to restore a copy of
the registry, see the info he http://home.satx.rr.com/badour/html/registry.html -- Regards Ron Badour, MS MVP for W98 Tips: http://home.satx.rr.com/badour Knowledge Base Info: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=kbinfo "Hank" wrote in message ...

How does that compare to restore points on XP? Will I still get to the same
place? -- Hank "Ron Badour" wrote: W98 does not have a restore point.

Restore points
No.
It will only restore a previous copy of the Registry and the startup .ini files. Restore points in XP restore your entire system to a previous state......files and all. -- Glen Ventura, MS MVP Shell/User, A+ http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm "Hank" wrote in message ...

Restore points
XP restore points...you can select dates all the way back to first install
of the OS. Win98SE through scanreg/restore goes back the last 5 boot entries. To do this ... Start/Shut down/restart in Dos. At the curser type: scanreg/restore The entries marked "started" should work. Also you can boot with a bootdisk and do the same thing. To get back to OS/desktop in dos type restart at the curser and hit enter. "Hank" wrote: How does that compare to restore points on XP?

Restore points
Perhaps. The number of available Restore Points depends on the disk space
you've alloted to System Resto http://bertk.mvps.org/html/diskspace.html & http://bertk.mvps.org/html/adjustdihealthy.html -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-Windows (IE/OE, Shell/User, Security), AH-VSOP poatt wrote: XP restore points...you can select dates all the way back to first install of the OS. |

Switch to another OS. ME or XP for instance.

Restore points
System restore restores the system only, does nothng for any 3rd party
application faults, its a godsend for the OS only. Restore is functional for system files and the registry/ini restoration only. Restore points are only useful for the system and boot partition(s) in ME and XP. Does nothing for any others except waste space. XP restore function can be disabled on user selected specific partitions, ME is locked at all or nothing. ME will create a _restore folder at all visible partitions whether enabled or not. -- Lil' Dave Beware the rule quoters, the corp mindset, the Borg Else you will be absorbed "glee" wrote in message ...

Restore points
Your point being??
System Restore will enable a user to recover from an otherwise potentially disastrous position. It will NOT back up user data (or remove it) except under certain conditions (and if those conditions apply, then the chances are that they will break System Restore for the average user!) SR was never designed as a backup tool - it's a 'Get out of jail free' card, and nothing more. -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2006, Windows) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.crashfixpc.com/millsrpch.htm http://tinyurl.com/6oztj Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's "Jonny" wrote in message ...

Restore points
Yes, I wasn't at all clear (except in my own mind) when I wrote "restore your entire
system to a previous state". By system I meant the system files, not any data files or 3rd party program files. -- Glen Ventura, MS MVP Shell/User, A+ http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm "Jonny" wrote in message ...
