You can try what has worked for me for over 2
years.
Open My Computer and set Details. Hold the Ctrl
key down while you close with the "X"
If you want Registry settings....
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Streams]
"Settings"=hex:03,00,00,00,01,00,00,00
defaults to large icons
"Settings"=hex:03,00,00,00,02,00,00,00
small icons
"Settings"=hex:03,00,00,00,03,00,00,00
list
"Settings"=hex:03,00,00,00,04,00,00,00

As always, I recommend backing up the Registry before attempting any editing of it. Better safe than sorry! If you're not sure how to, check out tip #2 on Page 1 of Tips & Advice.
(Note: I received this
tip via e-mail, but have forgotten from who, and no longer have thee-mail.
If you sent this to me
originally, let me know and
I'll credit you here)
While I have answered this question several times,
I have also found several sources which are
a more
comprehensive source of information on this topic
than I am, and I see no need to "re-invent the
wheel".
These sites provide excellent information on
making a Boot Disk, Formatting your
hard drive and Reinstalling
Windows 95.

It is built in, sort of. Pressing
PrintScrn will capture the screen and copy it
to the clipboard. (Alt-PrintScrn will
capture the active window only). Fromthere
you can paste it into your favorite graphics program and then save it.
There are also plenty of shareware programs which
will do this without the cut and paste, and
usually allow greater flexibility of what is copied by providing an option
to mark the section of the screen you wish
to copy. I use SnagIt
(Win 3.x version). There is now a 32 bit
Win95 version as well, but I haven't tried it as yet. I can't speak
to the
Win95 ver, obviously, but the Win
3.x always works fine for me. It saves as bitmaps, which are big,
but I just
convert 'em to jpg's if I plan to keep them permanently.
This answer is copied from an e-mail response
to a similar question I posed to McAfee and
is from one of
their techs.
VirusScan for DOS (2.53 and up) and Windows95
(2.08 and up) supports FAT32 scanning on floppy
diskettes
and hard drives. It does not support FAT32 scanningon
boot sectors, but we are working on support of this feature. There are
no known viruses that understand FAT32 and
infect it correctly at the moment, but thisdoes not mean that FAT32 boot
sectors are immune to viruses.
If your FAT32 system is infected with a boot sector infector then we will be able to scan it, detect the virus and if the virus is one that has placed the original boot sector on the drive (instead of overwriting it) then we will be able to remove the virus restoring your system back to its original state. If the virus overwrites the boot sector then we would clean the virus however your system would be FAT16.
We have no problem whatsoever detecting and cleaning master boot record infectors on a FAT32 system.

SYSBCKUP is a folder to keep. Some
setup applications do not check the version of the system
files they are installing and overwrite the newer Windows 95 versions of
those DLLs. Windows 95 restores its original
DLLs after every setup application runs and for the first
three startups thereafter. If an application stops running or behaves erratically
after you install it, you may need to obtain
an updated version of the application that does not
overwrite Windows 95 system files.
Earlier versions of Windows allowed applications to redistribute parts of the system with no ill effects. For example, an application might overwrite a system file with no adverse consequences. In Windows 95, multiple system files have been consolidated to expedite the startup process. If an application tries to overwrite a system file that is no longer used, Windows allows the application to copy the file, but does not use it.
If your application must run with a replacement file, you can add that file to the Windows SYSTEM\VMM32 directory (which is initially empty after you set up Windows 95).After you install an application, Windows 95 checks for files that are commonly over written by setup applications. If any are found, a dialog box appears, enabling you to restore the files from the hidden Windows SYSBCKUP directory.
On my box (I have a Compaq) their in: CdIni8.ini. This is
specific to the player (Compaq Audio CD Player). Generally, you'll
find this in cdplayer.ini. If not, use Find and do a *.* search of
your hard drive. On the advanced
tab, Containing Text section, enter one, or part, of the titles or
artists you've entered, and Find should tell you what file it's in and
where it is.
