Tips and Tricks
My lawyer gave me a legal blurb to put in here to protect me from your wrong doing, but I shortened it. Here it is. I don't guarantee nothin' here as being accurate, or that it will work for you, 'cause I ain't at your machine! So...if your machine starts to smoke, yer fault!!! Plain enough? After all, would you trust these two with anything?


They're a pretty scary sight, aren't they? Not to worry, the shrink says they are safe around people, and the rash is finally gone!

   
VIRUS ALERT!
IGNORE
"Microsoft updates" via e- mail!! Don't click any e-mail with an attachment that purportedly contains an update to a Microsoft product. They never send updates thru e-mail, but you may find a virus hidden in the attachment. Beware...

Win98 EMERGENCY BOOT
Format a floppy disk with the option to copy system files. Copy c:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\SCANREG.EXE and C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS to the disk; add the line DEVICE=A:\HIMEM.SYS to a CONFIG.SYS file on the disk. Now you can boot from the diskette and use the command "scanreg/restore" to restore the Registry on an unbootable configuration.

NT 4.0 STUFF
A handy emergency tool is a floppy that can be used to boot to NT. To make one simply copy NTLDR, NTDETECT.COM and BOOT.INI onto the floppy.
