I have a friends system where he crashed it when trying to install a scanner. He could not get into windows 95 so he reinstalled it. This created 2 windows. When the desktop come up you can't access any files; unless you go into windows explorer and then you can. Any suggestions other than format C:. Thanks. Jay

try a clean start in ms-dos.
Then, delete all windows.com and/or win.com entries you find on your PC (they could be hidden)
(dir win*.* /s to search them)
If you reinstall win95, it will not find a previous version of windows and put a proper one on your PC. All your files wil be kept and even the registry will be taken over.
