This is all kind of scary isn't it?

Well, maybe performing a backup is scary too.

Now you can chase those fears away!

Microsoft users can do a backup using backup function found under * System Tools * on their computer. There is a wizard that will guide you through process. You can get FREE step-by-step instructions on how to use this feature by clicking on mailto:howtobackups@sendfree.com I use this function on my laptop and I use an Iomega Zip Drive on my main computer to do my backups. I find Iomega quick, efficient, and easy to use. You can also customize your backups as in Microsoft.

You can also have your backups performed for you by a service and stored off-site for you. Having someone else do backups for you takes away headaches of having to do them yourself and it is reassuring that they ARE getting done and are stored off-site. This is something you need to think about because you never know when a disaster might strike your building or where you store your backups. I located one of several services at http://www.datalock.com that has various protection plans for reasonable fees. They even provide an on line Risk Evaluation Test. So, what are you waiting for? Schedule a date and time and please do at least one back up before next month when I'll be writing Part 3, U is for Uninstall!

I see you named a NEW folder Health because you had a lot of websites that had to do with Health saved in your Lifestyle folder.

Now, lets MOVE all saved Health websites out of Lifestyles into your NEW Health folder. There are two ways to do this.

** Follow first three steps above under Creating a NEW… (Skip step 1 if you are already on Internet) ~~ Click on Lifestyles Folder ~~ Locate and Click on website in your list that you want to move ~~ Click on Move to Folder ~~ You are presented with your list of Folders ~~ Click on NEW Folder, Health ~~ Click OK ~~ Click Close

OR you can use drag and drop technique:

~~ Right Click on website you want to move (Keep CLICK compressed until you * move * website) ~~ Drag to NEW Folder ~~ Drop into NEW Folder by releasing Click ~~ Click MOVE HERE

Repeat this process until you have all your saved favorite websites into * proper * folders.

If you discover you want to save/add a favorite website to your favorites and you DON’T have a folder already created, fear not, you can save/add and create a NEW Folder at same time! (I love computers!)

Let’s say you decide you want to save/add my website to your favorites and, maybe in future, you would like to save/add other organizers websites too, so you decide to make a NEW Folder called Organizers.

~~ Log on to Internet ~~ Type in my URL/Address: http://www.overhall.com ~~ Press Enter/Return ~~ Click Favorites ~~ Click Add ~~ Click New Folder ~~ Type in Organizers ~~ Click OK NOTICE: You can change NAME of website at this point ~~ Click OK

Remember, Storing, Saving, and Adding your favorite websites to YOUR folders can be FUN, and save a little time and craziness in your life. It will also bring you some control and organization to this crazy computer world that has sooo much to offer.
