Not that exactly, but I've had to reformat/reinstall win98 3 times in as
many weeks.
Juts now did the "safe" thing and see only the one - which is one
windows installed by default.
Is there any way to keep "safe" mode from trashing your desktop?

Jim,
Get this free utility. It's getting hard to find. If you have a
problem with the download I'll put it on my site.
(icon_restore.exe). Install it then right click My Computer and
choose save icon layout. If they ever get disorganized right click
it again and restore layout. Like after you have been in Safe Mode.

That should be right click the My Computer ICON on the Desktop.
