= Restoring Your System

You made a hardware or software change to your system, and now it doesn't work right. If Windows won't start, press F8 key while your computer is starting. The "Startup Menu" should appear. In Startup Menu select "Safe Mode". In safe mode, or if Windows does start, select

Start | Programs | Accessories | System Tools | System Restore

The "Welcome to System Restore" window will appear. Click on [Next] button. On "Choose a Restore Point" page, click on a restore point to highlight it. If there are no restore points listed, click on [back arrow] button on calendar until you find most recent restore point. Then click on [Next] button. System Restore restores your system to state it was in at restore point you selected and then restarts your computer.

= Note: System Restore does not undo any changes that you made to files you created with your applications. If a restore doesn't work, you can undo it, and select a different restore point.

When Microsoft created this big band-aid fix called System Restore, they admitted that Windows is an unstable operating system. Now we should be able to get compensated for all productivity we lost because of Windows crashing. ---------------------------------------------------------- Resource Box: Copyright(C)2002 Bucaro TecHelp.

I have only listed three of best here. To check out many other possibilities go to: http://www.keyscreen.com/ Then click on File Manager link. You will find many other shareware and freeware applications here as well.

In some instances, none of above programs will be able to help you. Why? Because some HTML Editors do not create separate files. The HTML code and all files associated with page are included in one large file. Even after compressing into an archive file (.zip, .rar, .arc, etc.), file is still too large.

This may help in these cases.

File Splitter:

This splits files into pieces so they can be moved onto floppy disks between systems. The program creates a batch file that is easily reassembled on another PC or back on yours. You do not need to have it installed on both machines to transfer files.

It is important that you get into habit of backing up your files and websites on a regular basis. Just having things stored on your hard drive is not enough. A computer crash or hard drive failure can wipe out everything. I know this from experience. My hard drive failed and could not be restored. Fortunately I had everything backup on CD's or I would have lost years of important files.

Please, don't make this simple mistake!

Backup everything at least once a week. Daily is better. At absolute minimum, backup your data files daily.

If all else fails - buy a CD-RW!
