When Generic Windows is stable enough and is ready for prime-time, then I will have a use for such a utility. The idea is to minimize the changes done to a user's system so that uninstalling Generic Windows (name to change later) will be easy. It's just too risky to modify the boot blocks and then have to put it in its original state during uninstall. Carlos C.
