2 questions: 1)Can I create a start-up disk like in '98? And are the commands the same; for instance...sys C: to transfer the files to C:
2)If I goto run and type setup.exe......when it does the re-install...will it overright all of my programs, folders, desktop, etc? (Can I even do setup.exe in ME?

1. i dont know. You can create one in add and remove programs or download one at bootdisk.com.
2.you can run setup from the install folder C:\WINDOWS\OPTIONS\INSTALL\SETUP.exe. This will over write the existing windows files but shouldnt touch your software or data.
You might have to reinstall the software so the registry sees it.
