I ran head long into this little active x monster in a system today.

This particular one seems to prove the necessity for knowing DOS...even in this day and age when DOS is dead (Remember Latin anyone?....Why are so many schools going back to teaching it...because it is the foundation of so many modern languages).

Backup the registry...Backup the Registry... Backup the Registry...
