The “Break it Down” Blog

Following up with our previous tip about keeping windows from “rotting”, Grant Gochnauer sends in another great tip from the ShippingSeven blog for recovering a really fuck-up Windows install without reinstalling. There are actually two tips, and they are:

2. Try backing up your data and then erasing your profile directory then recreating it instead of reinstalling Windows.
