[QUOTE="embries, post: 127630"] After spending 2 weeks getting a mixed Win2K/WinXP office cleaned up, I can honestly say I never want to touch any windows boxen again. The only thing that made the tedious chore bearable was that I had a powerbook with superdrive there for the entire process. When I started I didn't really know how bad the situation was, but I went for the box with the most complaints. I decided it was beyond hope in its current iteration, and formatted it.
