ghost is fun. after you make a ghost image of your windows partition with basics appz installed you can save yourself 90% of the trouble next time you need to start anew.

most of the apps i run get big revisions at least twice a year, so that doesnt' really help out much. 🙁

The thing I hate most about reinstalling Windows is having to reboot after each and every update from windowsupdate.com.

still does. just make a bare os image. updating winxp to sp1 and doing all the update etc, installing office, aim and thats about it. then save to image. next time u gotta restore to clean os u've saved a big chunk of time. works for me🙂 i still dread restoring from image, but its better then starting from scratch.

Qchain.exe learn it, use it, love it. One reboot, damn near unlimited hotfixes and up to one service pack I think.
