>> Hi Raf,

>>> The roll back seemed to go well and almost letter perfect according to
>>> your notes until just before it became the micro$soft driver again when
>>> almost all .SSD files on the computer assumed the appearance of  Adobe
>>> Readers' and adopted the .inf name of the new driver. Since contacting
>>> you, trying to delete all .SSD files as all images are now on floppy and
>>> GoMMC,
>>> and putting the correct Driver in, there has been a disappearance of the

>>> names. (pic).

>>> Do you have any suggestions or tests in mind for me to try?

>> I'm a little confused - are you just worried about the file associations 
>> for (*.ssd) files under Windows Explorer? OmniFlop doesn't use any or set 
>> any up, so if '.ssd' files were associated with anything (e.g. OmniFlop) 
>> then it would have to have been set up manually - e.g. by double-clicking

>> There's a possibility the display you sent me is misleading - read to the 
>> bottom first before trying anything...
>>
>> Regardless, if the associations are what is troubling you, then go into

>> I took a look at http://filext.com/detaillist.php?extdetail=SSD but there

>> Looking at your screenshot there's something that mght be confusing all

>>
>> (1) Display contents of system folders enabled
>> (2) Show hidden files and folders selected
>> (3) Hide extensions for known file types NOT selected
>> (4) Hide protected operating system files NOT selected (this will ask for

>> Windows XP tries to 'hide' things that Microsoft think that people don't
