On WinXP, files outside your "My Documents" tree

Restore Point. Files kept in the "officially blessed"
parts of C: are unaffected, so nothing in My Documents
gets added or subtracted to match the way it was

Are you saying _everything_ else - or maybe everything else on C: - gets
tracked, and potentially restored (synced)? This must make for a huge
tracking area (if for example you [or the system] delete a few feature
films).

If mankind minus one were of one opinion, then mankind is no more justified in
silencing the one than the one - if he had the power - would be justified in
silencing mankind. -John Stuart Mill, philosopher and economist (1806-1873)
