Hi George,
Ed is most likely sleeping, but I'm having a bout of insomnia, so I'll
reply to this one in his stead (whatever THAT means lol).
Depending on how your system is set up, there may be an option at the
bottom of your Start menu to "Log Off" from your current session. If it's
there and you select it, it will save your settings just like it normally
would for a reboot or shut down, but will then drop you off at the Log In
page where you can sign in under the "Administrator" account. To direct
your log in to that account, you'll type in the word Administrator into the
username area. You'll also need to know the password for that account if
one was set during Windows' install.
If the Log Out button is not displayed on the Start menu, you can still
get there by doing a three fingered salute (CTRL+ALT+DEL) to bring up Task
Manager. Once it opens, go to Shut Down > Log Off 'username' (which will be
replaced by your own username, of course) and it'll do the same thing I
described above.
On a side note, the file you're working so hard to get is one that I
just work around when I use this particular backup technique (manually copy
everything before it and after it without bothering to get a copy of the
stubborn file). My reason for using this technique is only to get a copy of
anything I'm not willing to lose in a hard drive crash and is not designed
to someday take me back to a working system if that should happen. I can
always place those 'un-losable' items where they belong in a new install if
needed.
On the other hand, the technique I use to get the working system back
onto a replacement drive with minimal fuss is to use a program like Drive
Image or Acronis True Image create a full Image of the C: drive.
Peace,
Gman
