Your suggestion to use the DOS deltree command worked as expected. Got rid of the
old stuff and created a new folder. Thanks for that work around. I still cannot use
system restore (probably because of the missing statemgr file). Anyone know of a
easy way to get one. I don't have the ME install disk?
