GENERAL
=======
The Microsoft Windows 95 Emergency Recovery Utility is designed to 
provide a backup of your system configuration in case a problem
should occur.

Microsoft recommends that you use the utility to create a backup
each time you make any significant system changes, such as adding
new hardware or software.


HOW TO INSTALL
==============
1) Copy the ERUZIP.EXE file to a new folder on your hard disk.
   Double-click the file ERUZIP.EXE. This will cause it to 
   de-compress itself.

    *    CAUTION!  Make sure that you are running this    *
    *    .EXE file in an empty folder or on a blank       *
    *    formatted diskette!                              *
    *                                                     *
    *    DO NOT run this .EXE file in your \WINDOWS       *
    *    or \WINDOWS\SYSTEM folder!                       *
    *                                                     *
    *******************************************************

2 Once ERUZIP.EXE has been run, it can be deleted.


BACKING UP YOUR CONFIGURATION
=============================
To create a backup of all or some of your system configuration files,
simply run the file ERU.EXE that is in the folder that ERUZIP.EXE was
run (you can create an shortcut to this file if you like and follow 
the directions.)

You will need to choose a location to store your backup information.
The recommended location is a bootable floppy in drive A, but you
can specify any location (including network drives).

CUSTOM BACKUPS
==============
If you wish to maintain backups of only certain files, just click
the Custom button at the file list screen.  You can then uncheck
any files you do not wish to back up.

RESTORING YOUR CONFIGURATION
============================
You will need to boot your machine to the command-prompt (real mode)
in order to execute the restoration utility (ERD.EXE).  If you do
not wish to restore all of the files listed, simply use the space
bar to untoggle them, then begin the restoration process.

To boot your machine to the command prompt, reboot it and hit the F8 
key when you see the "Starting Windows 95" message on the screen.
Then choose the "Safe Mode Command Prompt Only" option.  You can then
change to your backup directory and run the ERD.EXE utility.
