In my last post, I had been able to get checkini to delete all but one ba=
d
entry, and had great hopes that my hang problem was behind me.

During the discussions on my bootup hang, I also looked at a question abo=
ut
screen saver, and decided to set my system up in screensaver mode too (ie=
,
without filling in a password).
Seemed to be working fine. Today I left the computer alone about 2 hours,=

and when I pressed the enter key to get rid of the black screen with the
little padlock, it asked me to enter my password.
After a couple of iterations of that conversation, I decided to do what i=
t
said to do if I "forgot" my password (in my case, I never had one) and
cycled the computer off/on and rebooted.

Well, it took me 4 boot attempts to get past the "blue screen" hang. =

I ran checkini and there were a couple of bad entries found, neither of
consequence. So then I ran cleanini and it deleted perhaps a dozen entrie=
s.

I've now turned off the screensaver off.

Question: what about handles to drives that are not on thiscomputer, such=

as a network drive or a cdrom or a floppy.... I had been skipping those
devices, should they be deleted as well?
