Why would I count subdir? We were discussing files. ZtBold can be set to
show or not show hidden and system files. You can do the same with WPS
folders or almost any file manager. If the invisible contents you are
referring to are the EA's, these are a bit harder to see. Unimaint will
display them happily. A DIR /S will show the sizes, but not the content.

I will agree that is an odd result. It's not something we will have a
chance to diagnose again, hopefully.

Recycling problems is part of. Another is that most of the gear they get
will never resell. They don't make any money taking stuff to the dump.
There's also some worries about software license issues.

Frankly, with a known good Desktop backup, you have nothing but your own
fears to fear. Your problems were much more the result of the lack of a
backup than anything prndrv did. On a bad day, some other application
could have broken your setup as badly, or worse.

I'm sure it's worked for some and I'm sure it Unimaint development had
stayed more active, any issues would have gotten resolved.

I not sure I want to. :-( I used to be able to take trap dumps to an
SADUMP partition on drive G:. The dump currently stored there is dated
February, 2002. Between then and now I did something so that
Ctrl-Alt-Numlock-Numlock can no longer write the dump file. It gets some
sort of disk error. So, between then and now I changed something that
caused this. Might have been some hardware tweak or possible a driver
change. Needless to say, figuring out what will be a time consuming
process.
