| 366054 | 2005-06-25 13:24:00 | I know that with WinXP and with two physical hard drives I can make the "My Documents" folder to be on any drive ( logical ) I want. I use a separate data drive, and never use My Documents. I start my own Documents folder and use that as the default. I don't want any part of my data file structure controlled by the OS.

| 366056 | 2005-06-28 09:35:00 | This word idea about detect and repair, you dont lose work this way?In theory, no. But we are talking about computers here (and Beetles, now I come to think of it :p) so don't take any chances. Backup what you can't afford to lose before you do it and there will hopefully be no tears before bedtime that way. ;) | FoxyMX (5) | ||

It is similar to loading Windows "over the top" which also leaves all your original settings alone and doesn't touch data. Maybe it's a CRC-type check, or some other "intelligent" file comparison (an oxymoron for a faulty computer program). Any way, you can't go wrong if you do a back up, whether needed or not, but you do make backups regularly don't you beetle? Just dumping your documents folder to a CD is a cheap and easy way of ensuring that you don't lose anything important. Cheers Billy 8-{) |
