Advanced - this page has a few options that may need to be set, if WinRescue doesn't work with it's default settings.
Windows Restart (Win95/98/ME) - WinRescue uses the startwin.pif file (Windows Explorer doesn't show the .pif extension) to restart Windows and run RegPack. Some computers have drivers or programs that keep this from working properly. Many have reported that their computer goes to a blank screen with a blinking cursor. If this happens, you can select autoexec.bat and try it again.
Default Directories - two directories can be changed. Root is the hard drive on which the computer boots. This is usually C. If your computer does not boot up in C, you will need to change this.
Startup - this is the directory that has programs that are started when Windows starts. If you change users, this may need to be reset.
Temp - this is the directory that is used by WinRescue to create the backup. A temporary file is placed in this directory while the backup is being built. When the backup is finished, this file is removed. The default directory is the TEMP setting of DOS (usually C:\Temp). If there is not enough free space on this drive, you will receive a Stream Write or Stream Seek error during Backup. If you have a drive that has more free space, you can specify it here.
Do Not Prompt for Deleting Subdirectories - Uncompressed Backups usually have subdirectories. When WinRescue deletes a Backup with subdirectories, it first displays a message asking you if you want to delete the subdirectories. This is for your own protection. Check this checkbox if you do not want that message displayed. If checked, WinRescue will go ahead and delete all subdirectories in a Backup without asking you.
Warning - if you have improperly specified the Target of a Backup, this could delete more than the desired files.
