Well, SOB!!!
I got pumped, looked around for one of those erase programs, downloaded something called "Exterminator", and ran it.
Couldn't get into Windows, had to dink around, finally, after much effort, enter "Safe Mode", delete "exterminator".
What a pain. Now, after all my screwing around, I have another copy of Windows 2000 and a half-installed of Win2K to get rid of somehow.
Usually I've been able to get out of any trouble I've gotten into, sometimes with a lot of help. But with this computer I'm able to really do it!!
