restore and cab files
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have a 2 1/2 year old laptop running Windows ME and a 5gig hard drive. Recently I have noticed that the unused portion of the hard drive has been diminishing for no apparent reason as I have not been adding software. On further investigation I find I have a RESTORE directory which apparently started on 3 April this year and has many CAB files of 8mb each. Many of those are exactly the same size but dated 1,2 or 3 days apart. As an experiment, I copied one of these to an external drive and tried to delete but could not. My questions are: 1. Why did these restore files start in April this year only? 2. Do I need them all or only the latest for restore purposes? 3. If not all of them are required how can I delete the older ones? Thanks Nasib |

Yeah BOAC, that puzzled me too.
I can only think that someone has hacked that page on the Annoyances.org server. Maybe I'll drop 'em a line. |
Mac - search for Jack on Google and he appears to be a fairly prolific poster so perhaps he upset someone?
