.pwl files
hey guys,
i was looking on my computer for my .pwl files and when i do a standard search nothing seems to come up. I have a computer with XP too, and the same situation occurs.
No results are found when is search *.pwl
I have to login to both computers so these files should exist. can anyone tell me where to find them?

Spencer ur losing it... :)
Hehehehe I lost it a long time ago. LOL
I backup my WINNT directory about once a week. Kind of my version of the System Restore that XP has. And if and when a problem arises I can go into the RC and rename the WINNT folder and rename the WINNTBAK folder to WINNT or I have a boot item in the boot.ini to boot to the WINNTBAK if all I need is to replace a few files in the WINNT folder.
BTW I have a page that I house free utilities on. Some I developed and others are links to other developers. If you have the time and desire stop in and take a look.
