My question is, if you choose repair what does the repair overwrite?

What user data is lost?

In theory, nothing.

"The Startup Repair tool repairs Windows 7 by replacing important
operating
system files that might be damaged or missing."

Google "windows 7 repair" for some relevant info.

It is not as easy as XP was or 10 is now. Do research. I only did it
once.
What, if anything, _did_ you lose?

Just a heads up.

You're on E-S.

Right now, the E-S spool has a problem. It's like the
indexing is broken. Messages from May 2018 are being
re-injected into your message list.

Yes, I'd spotted that ...

You're actually
replying to a message from May.

.... but missed that that one was. (Maybe I posted my followup before I
noticed the E-S problem.)

I suspect Ray Banana is going to need to rebuild whatever
passes for an index on the E-S news server.

So if you're thinking "wow, a lot of new messages now",
well no, they're old messages being sent to you a
second time.

It doesn't seem _that_ bad (which is odd). I can live with what I've
seen so far. (The Turnpike 'group have suggested that use of the
NewNwews flag/facility/whatever would be useful to avoid this sort of
thing, but it makes more work for the server, so few do it [though
apparently NIN do]; not having much idea what it actually does, I can't
comment.)
