....."Why don’t you just image your machine instead of going thru the hassles of reinstalling everything?".....

I do. I use Norton Ghost with good results. I recently lost a HD so I decided to try SCSI. Ghost won't go from IDE to SCSI. The truth is, I use my machine for many, many, many tasks, and I try allot of software and then delete it if I don't like it. I start to get conflicts and have to reinstall other programs over again. Sooner or later the registry is full of crap and it just runs better to spend a weekend reinstalling the 30 or so programs I NEED to run. I keep the images to get me back up when it's an emergency and I can't afford the time. I use 2 of the machines to trade stocks for my living, and one more for fun and throwing fits,( and trying Linux distro's).

Ever try jv16 Powertools , from MaceCraft? I've been using it for years. Best Registry cleaner out there, for sure.
