Some time ago someone posted the website to download a backup program called Back4Win I downloaded it and it looks great. The problem is that I have no idea which files to download. They are all there. Which ones do I click. I do not want the programs and I do not want my files. I want window stuff in case my computer goes funny and crashes. Can someone tell me what to back up? I have a brand new external hard drive and that is where I want to back up to. I am such a dummy. Inge --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
