I had a discussion with Tracy about system snapshot/restore, and I decided I'll try it someday. For this, I did this:

- found msdart.dll (which errored once while trying to refresh one of the other panes - missing entry point) in the W2k directory, version newer than the one in use, replaced, still the same
- reinstalled VFP9, still the same
- reinstalled Office 2003, still the same
- rebooted, still the same.

So I put together this piece of code to replace the EnvMgr while using its data:

Select * From Home(7)+"envmgr";
	WHERE envtype="E";
	INTO Cursor crsEnv
cDugme=""
Scan
	cDugme=cDugme+ Alltrim(setname)+";"
Endscan
cDugme = cDugme + "ništa"
N=alert("Šta ćemo sad lepo da radimo, a?", cDugme)
*-- "What nice thing shall we do now, eh?"

*-- Alert is my old utility - download #9445 or the
*-- download #16185 version by Federico Tomazetti

If Between(N,1,Reccount("crsenv"))
	Go N In crsEnv
	Execscript(beforecode)
	Set Path To (Alltrim(setpath))
	Cd (Alltrim(defaultdir))
	Execscript(aftercode)
	o=.Null.
	Select envmgr
	Locate For parentid=crsEnv.uniqueid
	If Found()
		Scatter Name o
	Endif
	Close Tables All
	If Not Isnull(o)
		Modify Project (Alltrim(o.setname)) Nowait
	Endif
Endif

I could have made it a bit more complicated by trying to do the SETs and to handle the case when there are more projects in the same directory, but this'll do.
