will it still store it if a hard boot is done? i remember with win95, anything/everything that came into the puter during that particular session would be wiped with a hard boot...it's not a good thing to do regularly but has gotten me out of probs. haven't had any in so long now (yes, knocking on wood) that i may have been spoiled with the new windows and all the blocks that come with it...whatever we're running now...xp i think.
