RESET COMMAND?

Is there a command line for Windows 98, (such as in Win2000), that will reset my pc to what it was......say 3 days ago??

    I do not believe so ... that was a feature added to the update of Windows 98 --> Windows ME.

    There is a command! Quite awhile back, a Dell Support Tech talked me through it. But I can't remember the command line.

    the last post is correct for win98. you will be given a number of dates to restore your registry to. thats why its always a good idea to use the tool when you change something like drivers or add a program.

    i dont know what you are trying to fix but the utility gives mixed results but does work if you have a major screw up. i suggest you just manually delete the driver or program to fix whatever you are trying to do and then reinstall what you want.
