Great way to protect PWL's

[Zach Elfers]

The following is a great way to protect your PWL files and I thought it up:

WARNING: To do this you must mess with your System.ini file.

First, rename your pwl files with a new extension. It doesn't have to even be real.

Then, go to your System.ini file and open it up. Scroll down and you will see a part where they have your password files listed. Change there extensions to the new extension.

You can also change their location, and even what their filename.

I thought only windows95 used PWL files for important stuff. Doesn't 98+ use registry?

I know. I am upgrading to 98, but am having some problems. Does anyone know the answer? I put in a new Western Digital 80 gig harddrive into my clunky '97 NEC designed for Win 95. The BIOS chip can read 8455 megabytes of the new harddrive, but the problem is, nothing works. The harddrive is blank. I have followed the instructions for the System Restore. When the disks are in, nothing happens. The NEC NEC NEC screen comes up. The one where you can hit F2 to enter the CMOS or BIOS setup. After that screen leaves, another screen comes up. I don't know what this screen is calles, but it shows that the mouse is installed, the harddrive, the RAM, etc. Now after this nothing happens at all. I have tried installing an OS on the harddrive several times, with no success. Do you think this new harddrive isn't compatible with my computer or do you think it is something else?
