This is really excellent news! I will get my Win98 installation back
to the point where those resources are completely left alone and
untouched. (In fact, I'm happy to do a complete reinstall, it doesn't
take all that long, half an hour or so.) That's definitely something
less to worry about now. Thanks.
Best regards from Robert.
