Oh yeah, I do that all of the time. People 'round here tend to be fairly computer illiterate, and since I have seven computers in my house that are mine and they're each dual-booted with different OSs, I have all of the files that they could possibly need if their computer is messing up. So, for real, a lot of the time when they come here and they're like "my PC won't boot ahhh!" I just ask what OS they use, go to the computer that I have that works with that same (or similar) OS on it, copy most of the important files (himem, win.*, user.dat, autoexec.*, etc) onto some floppies, go through there using a boot floppy and just overwrite their existing files on there. 9 times out of 10 that makes the problem go away right there.
