SO... I can save everything I want in My Shared Folder and Delete the
WINDOWS.O Folder and also delete it under the boot.ini tab. Will this start
me in the right direction or work. I know there is a little more to it but
does that sum it up for the most part. (also all my Hidden Folers are now
showing).
Thanks ,
