You donot even have to rename anything, just copy to other drive and
switch it off  (bios, no power cable..)

simple copying doesnt always work, but under 98 you have a lot more
chance then under 95.
I wouldnt use zip, it corrupts with big archives and no idea if thats
fixed. I never got a warning but with many files, it looked ok but was
unexpandable, RAR never gave me that problem, neither did ARJ.

Anyway copying will work on MY system but most customers havent got the space.
So normally I ghost their c-drive...to one of my hard disks.
Copying ONLY works if you just booted and havent run anything as once
certain system files have been loaded, forget copy.
On the other hand zip/rar work but take ages to run.
I prefer Ghost..


Christopher> OKOK, now this will be EOT (.perhaps :-)) ;-)

Its all a matter of circumstances, paying customer, a friend,
yourself, data being important etc etc.
Donot forget that here like in your place, cd's with all kind of
software float around so likely all a customer needs is on some cd he
has.

I think problem is that you look at what you can do in person, and

Agreed, I wouldnt either on my system.
But if you have to charge them per hour...

Anyway agreed, copy would keep most, I always do that but there again
most customers havent got the disk space.
Ghost is even better as with ghost explorer you can put things back.
And in my own case any important directory is rarred.
Permanently.

I think we quite agree what can be done
But if they pay per hour work (relatively flexible..) then problem
becomes a bit different

Hello Januk,

JA> Could it be made so that there is only one registry key which just

the problem with ini-files is that they are limited to 64k...
(ms-spec...)
so that could be a problem if you'd have serveral accounts...

maybe a structure of ini-files?
1 file that says which account uses which file & the other files
contain data...

JA> Another option would be to have a *.reg file in the TB directory

i was thinking that too... should be quite easy to write a plugin that
does exactly this...
or just create a vbscript that does this at win-shutdown...
