There is a possibility that I might have to take everything out of my laptop's drive c: in order for my nephew to fix my printer not printing from it's remote settings, and I'm wondering is it possible to back up the Windows 3.11 and the Rex Nebular that I have installed in my DosBox's drive C: (my oldgames directory) onto a blank DVD, wait until after everything's fixed by my nephew, and then put my oldgames folder back onto my laptop's drive c: and not have to manually install DOSbox, Windows 3.11, and Rex Nebular all over again, but just copy my oldgames folder back onto drive C: and have Windows 3.11 and Rex Nebular all up and running?

Thanks.

Yes, that is perfectly possible. But you might need to install DOSBox itself again, but that is easy (right?).

Yes, MiniMax, that's the easiest (and the best part - a piece of cake) part. Thanks again.
