Thanks to all for all the tips. I finally
figgered it all out.

Prob was going from a 98SE file structure to an
XP file structure. Just had to know what file types
to look for. Has anyone else noticed that explorer
(file list) does not let you sort by file type
(what used to be called extension)??

Just had to find the files in the 98SE structure
(all under C:/windows ...) and move them to
the XP structure (c:/documenrts and settings ...).

All works well...thanks
