Hey Nelson, what the hell are you talking about??  RTFM??  
Windows 95 DOESN'T COME WITH A MANUAL.  Try RTFP - Read The F
Pamphlet..... of course, you won't find LFNBCK in there.

To actually find that, you could say - GOABTFMWRKARTFT - Go Out And
Buy The F'ing Microsoft Windows_95 Resource Kit And Read The F'ing
Thing.....

And as he said, it's a pain.  Some of us actually get paid to
accomplish WORK on the computer, not to accomplish WORKING ON THE
COMPUTER.... or for that matter, reading about how to keep it working
when that is secondary to the task at hand.


Aren't computers amazing?  I used to spend a whole day writing a paper
by hand.  Now I spend 1 hour booting the system, 2 hours reading the
manual about why it won't boot, 4 hours doing the stuff the manual
said or tech support clarified for me, and ONLY ONE HOUR typing the
paper... and to think all this hardware only cost $5000...........
what a bargain....
