PERSONAL NOTES
• I really dislike GoBACK in Windows 2000 and XP. I've
found that removing it altogether reduces the number
of times you have to recover. And XP's SystemRestore
is more useful, even though it has less overall
functionality that GoBack.
• Many of these configuration savers were more useful
in the Win9x days, and are unnecessary with the robust
Windows 2000 and XP.
• ConfigSafe and other products from ImagineLan are still
very handy tools.
