If someone could write me off line about the batchfile method of refreshing winblows 95B I'd appereciate it. It appears that I have corruption to beat corruption on one of my pc's but I don't want to blow away everything on the hd. I can at least run command soas to get down into dos but can't access anything on the desktop or the Programs folder. If there's no way then thanks! will just have to do it with a working pair of eyes who isn't very computer literate. Amanda
