That you for the suggestions. However, they have tried Ghost and it
appears unreliable works less than 50% of the time. The internal
Flash Drive which holds the OS and all the applications is behind 32
socket head screws that are held tight with locktite. It's not an
option to take them apart on a regular basis.

The Ghost experience left them with three flash cards that needed to
be removed, reformatted and the OS re-installed.

The WIN98 Help file says there can be up to 5 backups of the Registry
so perhaps just replacing the autoexec.bat with a special version from
the jumpdrive dongle. This autoexec.bat could delete the registry
files. That might work. I'll give it a try.
