     This is why I make a backup of my WIN.INI and SYSTEM.INI files 
before I install ANYTHING in Windows.  So when the Dust demo screwed up 
Windows, I just restored WIN.INI and SYSTEM.INI from the backup!  
(I think the Dust demo screwed around with SYSTEM.INI, not WIN.INI)

     All you have to do is this: From your Windows directory, type

COPY WIN.INI WIN.BAK
COPY SYSTEM.INI SYSTEM.BAK

     Then, if something (like Dust) screws up Windows, just type

COPY WIN.BAK WIN.INI
COPY SYSTEM.BAK SYSTEM.INI

     Unless the program screwed up something else (like one of the .DLL 
files), this will almost always restore your Windows to its regular state.
I agree with you on one thing, though: I hate programs that install files 
to /WINDOWS or /WINDOWS/SYSTEM without asking first.
