  Excellent point.   It is not particularly likely that executable files
will fit your scenario, but it only takes one to ruin your whole day.  There
is a utility in the toolsreskit directory of the Win98 CD that should back
up LFNs, so this becomes step 0.5 in my scenario, and restoring them comes
in about 5.5 or so.

 You get spoiled working with an OS that does this stuff right, you forget
how incredibly stupid the MS approach to LFNs is....
