More goods news about RB. Today I started my laptop and at an extremely early stage all seemed to "go to hell in a handbasket". My laptop was frozen, it kept bleeping and there wasn't any progress in the start up procedure. Tried a number of things, but to no avail. Then I rebooted my laptop and pressed F8 and managed to enter "Safe Mode", ran RB, restored the registry to an earlier date and after a reboot all was back to normal.
I thought I had to execute the more cumbersome MS System Restore but I was lucky. RB saved the day.
@chigswell: Yes, RB doens't place a shortcut on the desktop and that's why that wonderful RB remains "under the radar" for a lot of WR users.
