...what methods have you used to successfuly resurrect an XP system that just won't boot at all? with the autoexec and config files no longer there in general, it seems the choices are much more limited.

:P *sigh*

What about signing on as global administrator and changing the rights of those files directly? It's very time consuming, I know, but it would allow those files to be saved. Same with the apps that require the user-specific rights. Change their rights as admin, and they'll probably run again. (I had to do this once).

wow... sounds very intriguing... *wags tail*

I wasn't sure this was possible with XP.. just macosX and unix...

If you recall a basic step-by-step for this, I'd love ta peek... ^v^

I'm sorry, critter. I did it once, under close supervision. I have no idea how to really sysadmin XP off the top of my head. :/
