[pchelpers] Re: Moving Files and Licenses

    Scott,

     OK I guess it did what it was designed to do then. It did 
not allow me to tell it what to select, only gave me three 
choices and I selected all of them. I expected more from it but 
then I do not have all my documents in the same place.  I guess 
my Document filing system just will not work this way easily in 
Windows XP.  I have ordered a Backup Program to handle the 
selection I would like it to have and will probnably just use 
this for the License backup etc.

    Cy
