Debbie, please get a clue. Usenet IS a data base and retrieval system. I
hope you gave EasyNews written permission since I just pulled your post
from their system.
And you know what? I'm about to quote your copyrighted work at will.

Yeah, like *you* could afford to do that. Perhaps you should upgrade from
Windows 95 first...

Jesus Debbie, have you never heard of Ghost? You can make a bit for bit
copy if the hard drive.
Oh God, now she *has* heard of Ghost... I hope I'm not responsible for a
new chapter of drivel in her "book".

Virus check your CD-ROM with what? A CD from a software vendor? What if
the virus scanner vendor has a malicious employee?
Frankly Debbie, you personally would probably do better to scan your
*vibrator* for viruses, bacteria, lice and ticks. Some little critter has
burrowed under your skin and is messing with your mind.

Debbie, get yourself a copy of Norton Anti-Virus before you talk about it.
You could be sued for libel. Norton can scan .zip files, and it will
detect viruses/trojans if an attempt is made to extract the files.

You aren't liable if your account is canceled moron. In case you didn't
know, you aren't liable for everything done with every old phone number you
ever had either.

The bottom of the file? That is insane. A registry is composed of hives
and keys. It isn't a linear format.
