[Discussion] OS Refresh after Hardware Upgrade

[Thomas Clayton]

Don,

One of the points that Steven Levine makes - about the older versions
of 
OS/2, at least - is that the *.ini files get a /LOT/ of 'junk' put into

them over time. Periodically 'cleaning' that out /DOES/ improve 
performance. (The 'junk' is all sorts of path info, window
positions(?), 
out-of-date references.) Hank Kelder's 'Ini-Tool Set' would be the way 
it'd get done.

Sincerely,

Thomas Clayton
