Folder Options!!!

[Guest Jim]

Hello, is there anybody out there!!! win98se OS

 

I have a dilemma. I was setting up separate Profiles for the different Users

in Passwords on this machine along with ICS in a study of NAT capabilities

of a SS4100 modem. *_ I noticed that some of the Desktop folders for another

user that were not the correct folder type as oem boot like on My Desktop,

in particular the systems folders. So I went into Folder Options and clicked

reset all folders...*_ This "little" move erased all the very important

program files that were in a folder(s) or shortcut folder(s) that I had on

My Desktop and all the other desktops. This is a disaster. Luckily, I can

find some of these programs with Find File and Folders but the path is the

same as the shortcut folder or the my New folders i.e. folders that I

created that are now "empty". Also, My Docs seem unaffected by the reset.

WTF did I do to deserve this bug? Any thoughts here would be helpful.

Reload a Registry dated prior to this error via

c:\Windows> SCANREG /RESTORE

and select an appropriate date.
