Cindy,

Thanks for the info. This sounds like a very useful feature. I get the impression from feedback and articles that XP is a very nice upgrade. Unfortunately, XP is not (yet) an option for me :(
We're slowly moving to Win2K.

Simple to get rid of, I called up WinXP's restore points and backed up one. It didn't affect any data (OE newsgroup files) at all, just the registry and the installed programs. It took about a minute and a reboot.
