Bert, thank you for posting this. Up till now I couldn't think of any
way to test my restore points, so I just lived with the issue that my
restore points could be bad and I wouldn't know it till I tried to use
one.

You're welcome Stan. You may also find this page of use also.

After I posted my comment above, I realized I had forgotten to
add "Why don't you put that on your Web site?" That was good: I took
the opportunity to look through a few more of your pages, and I found
the very one you mention.

So I guess I should have read more on your Web site before this.

After finding Foxit Reader, I will never install Adobe Reader again.

Thanks for the tip. I've always thought Adobe reader was a real pig.
7 is better than 6 but it still takes a long time to load.
I'm going to give it a try.

Adobe 7 (7.0.3 here) loads a lot quicker than any previous version. I was
very surprised when I installed and then used it.

I've switched to this too. I have a large collection of PDF files. Haven't
hit on a file that it can't open yet and it renders the document content as
expected.

I tried out Foxit. It did seem pretty quick, but the search function
wouldn't work for my New Yorker cartoons. I'm not quite ready to make
Foxit the default, but I did add it to the right-click menu for .pdf
files.
