We've all fallen for one internet hoax or another at some time in our lives.
Live and learn. We'll just need to be vigilant and look for warning signs
that something may be a hoax.

Thanks, anyway. I hope your computer wasn't damaged. If you have the
original W95 cd for your computer, perhaps you can use that to restore the
deleted file.
