"Access Denied" ?

[Clavin Schwindt]

When doing a "Handy Backup" of my entire system there was one folder that
could not be accessed: C:\System Information\. I tried to run this via RUN
and was denied access also, not surprisingly. What is contained in this
folder? Would it be a crititical ommission if I had to use the backup CDs to
restore my system? Thanks for your advice. CGS

Hello!

That's where the information System Restore uses to restore your machine to
different points in time is stored. It's not something you would probably
need on a restore CD.

Hope that helps!
