Restore xp pro to factory settings

[Mr A B C]

Can't find a winnt.exe or a winnt32.exe in I386 in xp pro. What is an idiot supposed to do to reset the os to factory settng ???

Those files in the i386 folder are not there to restore your PC to factory settings; they are there so you can add Windows components without a Windows CD. You must use a restore CD or the restore partition to reset it back to factory settings.
