Q. My Site Definitions disappeared! I am using Windows. I don't remember all those passwords! What am I to do?

A. If using Win98 or WinME do this:

1. Boot to DOS.

2. Type the following then hit [Enter]:

cd\windows\command

3. Type the following then hit [Enter]:

SCANREG /RESTORE

Scanreg will present you with a list from which to select. You can also cancel if you wish.

This last command will allow you to restore a copy of the registry from a time prior to the disappearance of the site definitions.

If you are using a different version of Windows, you will have to restore the registry from a backup. If you do not have a backup you will need to recreate the site definitions manually.

In the future, use the registry utilities from the following site to make backups so you can avoid this problem.
