Your critical files are always safe

In the past, when you installed an application from the Web or a CD, you had to worry about accidentally deleting a system file, because that could wreak havoc with your computer. That's no longer a concern with Windows Me, which prevents erroneous system file deletion with a feature called System File Protection.

With System File Protection, you are assured that:

• Files critical to system operation will not be replaced by older versions, or versions not approved by Microsoft.
• Applications developed by Microsoft or other companies cannot replace "protected" files with older versions.
