re: Question about 'Prevent file corruption problems' Monday, March 31, 2003 at 4:05 am Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by BrizBoy (110 messages posted) Most of the file and registry cleaners (eg Easy Cleaner, Regclean, Microsoft Registry Cleaner) have an automatic backup facility that saves the files you delete so you can later restore the files if problems occur. Check the help files and website for the cleaning program you used to see if your cleaner has this facility and how to reinstall deleted files.
