==============================
Greetings Ed!

 EV>>> If M$ wrote the OS's Correctly the Registry wouldn't be such a
 EV>>> bother.

 RW>>> It's no bother, it just takes its sweet time getting around to
 RW>>> allowing your PC to boot.

 EV>> I'll say AMEN! to that! Brer Roy!,

 EV>> 'Sweet Time' is the Right word to describe Booting Up a modern
 EV>> computer, in this day and time.

 RW>> I'd change that to sweat time...

 EV> Yep!, sometimes I sweat wondering when it will let me see the Log On
 EV> Screen so I can finally get to do something I turned it on for that I
 EV> wanted to do.

That sounds like bad news.

 EV>> The Commodore 64 Booted Up before I could take a second breath,
 EV>> and shut down just as fast, Except maybe for the C= GEOS GUI Prg???.

 RW>> It had a window type of OS?

 EV> Yep!, Commodore even sold a Mouse that worked with GEOS.
 EV> IIRC CBM had two mouse models for sale, one of my friends got a
 EV> C= Mouse to use for GEOS.

 EV> GEOS had applications for Writing and Painting.
 EV> There were others but I'm not able to recall any others.
 EV> Probably Wikipedia has a Commodore GEOS page to tell all about it.

I often wondered what use the Commordore was good for. Now I know.

 EV>> I can't remember if it required you to 'wind it down' like all the
 EV>> MS Windows OSs expected to be done so it could keep its act in
 EV>> order.

 RW>> You  wouldn't be very happy with it if it dumped your pgms out
 RW>> of memory before it had a chance to save any work you've done.

 EV> Anytime the Lights Blinked in my room, the C=64 and whatever I was
 EV> doing was lost.

That's par...

 EV> If I was typing in a PRG from a Magazine I periodically Saved what
 EV> I was doing in case my A.C. Power was interupted.

Heh! Been there, done that, only it was on my TI994a...

 EV> Last year when I was using the Commodore 64 for something, my wife
 EV> flipped the wall switch as she left my room, just a short BLINK!,
 EV> but the Boot Screen came up on my C=64.

LOL!

 EV> Since that happened I ran a extension cord from the UPS over to the
 EV> Power Strip the Commodore gear is plugged in to.

That'll help.

 EV>>> I can't remember for sure if Windows 3.x had a Registry or not, I'm
 EV>>> thinking it didn't, but I'm not for sure about my thoughts.

 RW>>> I'm not sure anymore either. I haven't used it in 15+ years and
 RW>>> glad to report that.

 EV> I looked and Yes!, Windows 3.1 has a Registry.

Egads.

 EV> -snip-

 EV>> I "think" I remember reading to do a Save To Desktop type procedure
 EV>> just before doing any changes to the Registry, or something like
 EV>> that, 'Just In Case' the Registry got corrupted, or power went off,
 EV>> etc. while doing some editing in it.

 RW>> Making a backup of the registry before you proceed with making
 RW>> any changes to it will help you recover from things that go
 RW>> bang in the night. It's best to keep that backup off of the
 RW>> boot drive.

 EV>> Safety First!

 EV> You're Right!, it Should be on another HDD instead of me putting
 EV> it on the Desktop as MS suggests to do.

It doesn't have to be on another HDD, you can use a non-bootable partition
to store it on.


    Have a day!
