Or in many cases restore the last backup you made because it's eaten some fundamental part of the system alive and it will never really work right again unless you spend hours grovelling around with the registry editor or the policy editor of the policy registrizer or something, and it's just quicker to run the restore program at this point. Except the restore program keeps stopping and telling you it can't overwrite some file because it's `busy', and there seems to be no way either to turn that off so it will run unattended while you make a cup of tea, or alternatively to make it actually do a complete restore and just ignore all this `busyness' crap. So the restore that should run to completion in 20 minutes (so you could do daily restores and have a fairly stable system) actually takes several hours unless you buy a third-party tool to do it. (For random added laugh value: I just installed NT (SP6a) on a machine. It comes with a really, really old version of IE, so old that it's pretty obviously still mosaic. So old in fact that the microsoft upgrade-IE-to-the-most-recent-version page just doesn't work at all...) --tim
