Its something that hardly seems to get mentioned, but the system is very badly designed. Maybe you can't blame Microsoft (for once), in that they've just given people/software the freedom to use the machine. What gets me is that you have millions of files, many of which pop up in places like the root directory. How you are supposed to know what belongs where and what is useful god only knows. If I were God, or Gates, I would have two top directories - Programs, and Personal Data. Software goes in programs, and Personal Data contains all user data and setup information. The user only needs to backup their Personal Data folder (and perhaps you could be prohibited from backing up your program directory, because you should have the original disks.) Jeff
