   I thought you meant that you wanted to test your backups.. "ghosting" is how   
   you set up a machine from scratch..

   maybe you won't say "never", but everyone else will.. you need to get your   
   head outta 1993.. see below..

   all Windows-based programming is like that, not just PdoxWIN.. there are   
   many flavors, but the concepts are similar.. and TOTALLY different from what   
   you're doing.. again, see below..

   that's not programming..
