Thanx much.  I know just enough about Windows to get myself in a world of trouble, 
so may I double-check these items with you to make sure I understand?

1. I ran sfc /scannow, and it is prompting me for an XP Pro CD-ROM because some OS 
files "have been replaced by unrecognized versions".  I have an XP(SP1a) Reinstallation 
CD that came with my Dell computer, so I plan to use that.  Does that mean I should 
reinstall XP SP2, or can I rely on Windows Update to let me know what I need?

2. I changed my Tools>Folder options...> View to display system and hidden files, 
and found the DESKTOP.INI Configuration Settings file.  Since I will back this up 
then delete it, I assume it will be recreated at some point.  I was wondering if 
this requires a restart, and how I will know if I want the old one back?

3. I opened regedit, and see a File>Import... menu.  Is that what I use to merge 
the new file?

I apologize if this is becoming burdersome, but I really do appreciate your help 
in this battle to restore functionality.  I'm on a mission!

I'll wait to hear back before I proceed.  Thanx again, Wereotter.
