Since no .Dat files were noted by OP, I doubt these are registry backups, which BTW
are rb0001.cab thru rb0005.cab and are found in C:\windows\System\sysbackup in Win98SE.
User.dat and System.dat are the current regristy settings, which, when a backup is
ceated, are both saved in the rb000x.cab file. Win98SE default is 5 copies, hence
rb0001 thru rb0005. More can be created but the .cab extension is still used. Somehow
I doubt 5,000 copies of the registry.
I've seen reference to the User.da0 file before, neither of my Win98SE systems contain
this particular file???
