Well, he said "files" so I thought there might be files other than the 
accounts file that he wishes to delete. As I said, it depends on how 
fresh he wants his restart to be. I'm a very compulsive person, and I've 
been known to reformat an entire disk partition in order to get a really 
fresh start on something. I have been "bitten" by files I did not know 
about in the past. Again, "start out fresh" is relative.
