And since I'm no "stranger" to the Windows Updates - I have my WINXP Pro set
to download the Automatic Updates at 7 AM every day - how does that explain
how my Microsoft.Net folder got erased, or was never installed smlunatick?

To give you and others a little more background here, on or about 27MAR07 I
needed to go through a complete Format of my C drive, since my attempt on
uninstalling IE 7 went awry, and left me with the inability to Logon to my
PC. The pressing of the power button from a Shutdown state, omly got me as
far as the WIndows XP "initializing" screen. The screen where the light-blue
indicator scrolls from left to right below the Windows XP logo I mean. And I
was then having a Restart occur when the Welcome screen normally occurs right
after that.

So I then finally realized that my Operating System had been damaged, and I
now realize that I should have done a System Restore to get things back to
where they should have been.

So I went through a Format of that partition on my hard drive, during the
installation of a "fresh" WINXP Pro OS.

Which is where I think I'm headed once again shortly.

Unless someone can identify a slightly less time-consuming solution?
