re: Deleted User.dat file Thursday, December 4, 2003 at 3:03 pm Windows Me Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Jack Gulley (5917 messages posted) You need to restore your system Registry. Windows ME makes a backup copy the first time you boot the system each day. That is what the ScanReg entry in the MSCONFIG Startup tab list does for your. You can go back and restore it to the morning boot before you made your mistake. All changes made after that boot up will be lost. First try going to the START - RUN option and enter: SCANREGW /RESTORE It will give you a list of five restore dates to try. Use the one with the Date and Time prior to you big mistake. If you can not boot, try it from Safe Mode. Else you will have to boot from a Windows ME boot diskette and run: SCANREG /RESTORE and do it from a DOS prompt.
