Hi all I've done a silly thing. Picked up a copy of Aladdin's Spring Cleaning recently, thinking to clear out some of the accumulated debris of demo software and old programs I'd run on my 7300/200. Selected the utility which is meant to locate 'orphan' files that don't appear to be associated with any main program. Took a cursory glance at what it came up with and pressed Delete.
Lo and behold, when I booted up yesterday it was much quicker to load :) ... until I started trying to run programs, and a succession of messages told me this or that wouldn't run because a certain file could not be found (eg Dreamweaver was missing WinSock Lib, Internet Explorer and mail/internet programs wouldn't work because Open Transport had done a bunk etc etc) :( What can anyone suggest which may help recover the lost files, or preferably restore the system to what it was before I mucked it about? I have borrowed Disk Warrior from work, which may do the trick but looks extreme in what it can do. Are there any free utilities that are downloadable? I seem to remember one called Retrospect Express or something? I'd really rather not have to reinstall system software and all that shenanigans if I can avoid it ...
