Hello again ... Erunt in the taskbar; good idea and an idea new to me. Never thought of making a backup before any installation (or change, which I am always doing). Now how to do this (I need help). I put Erunt in the Startup menu so it now shows up in msconfig > startup. How do I get Erunt into the Taskbar, specifically into the System Tray? And regarding that path line below, is it in Erunt's shortcut target box that you enter that path line? --- Harold Original question was (pardon the clips), If your have windows restore turned off and are running ERUNT instead, when windows says it is making a restore point will it use ERUNT? And Clint answered, "A daily backup is automatically made when you start your PC (if you opt'd for that and you certainly should). I have the icon on the Taskbar and I also click to manually make a backup before I install anything. If you don't want it to keep backups for weeks, months, years, and it will if you don't tell it, right click the icon in the Start Up folder and change that line to this:" "C:\Program Files\ERUNT\AUTOBACK.EXE" %SystemRoot%\ERDNT\AutoBackup\#Date# /noconfirmdelete /noprogresswindow /days:5 " "That suffix at the end: [space]/days:5 means it will save the last 5 days of backups. That way you don't have to keep going to the ERUNT folder in the Windows directory and delete old backups." ========================= The list's FAQ's can be seen by sending an email to PCWorks-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with FAQ in the subject line.
