Hi

i am a newbie.

I want to automate backing up to a cd player and burn to
CD.

I want to create a folder on c: drive called backups.

Then i want to copy all of my data from c drive to this
folder.

Then i want to burn this data from the folder to the cd
player.

I want to be able to do a multisession CD burn.

I am using windows 2000 and i am using Roxio Easy CD
Creator.

Can anyone help me to write a simple batch file i can
just double click on my desktop and it will start the
burn process of my data?

How is this done?

One of the first things to learn as a newbie is that multi-posting will get
you flamed. Here's a quote about multi-posting, what it is, and why it's
considered rude.

<quote>
When you post identical messages to different newsgroups independently, many
people waste their time downloading and reading a message they have either
already read, already answered, or didn't know was already answered in
another group.
Have some consideration for the people who are giving freely of their time
and knowledge to help solve your problems - post to ONE *on-topic* group --
if it's not an appropriate group, someone will guide you to a more useful
group in which you will be more likely to get a speedy, accurate answer.
Mutli-posting often gives the impression that you are impatient and that
your question is more important than those of every other user who is
following netiquette guidelines respectfully.

Hi, JHardy.

Welcome, Newbie! ;<)

We were all newbies not so long ago because the World Wide Web is not yet 10
years old. Some of us have been on the learning curve longer, though, and
we like to help newbies when we can.

The first tip is to actually READ that Help file on the way in here. Right
there on the Welcome to Microsoft Discussion Groups page is a link to
Getting Started with the Web-based Newsreader. If newbies will read this,
we won't have to re-type the basics for each one individually. One of the
topics discussed there is Advanced options, including "Cross-post to these
discussion groups".

There's a subtle but important distinction between Cross-posting and
Multi-posting. If you post messages individually to multiple newsgroups -
whether they are identical messages or only similar - then each message is
treated separately; that's what Ray is talking about in his reply to you.
But if you type a single message and cross-post it to several relevant
groups, it appears in each group but when I read it in one, it's marked
"Read" - for me - in all the groups. That way, I don't read (and maybe
answer) the same question over and over. The payoff for you is that all the
responses appear in a single coherent thread which you can read from any one
group; you don't have to check them all. Wrong or incomplete advice offered
in one group can be corrected or expanded by a reader in another group.

Even with cross-posting, you'll get flamed if you post to irrelevant groups,
or to an excessive number of groups. Cross-posting is seldom necessary if
you pick the group carefully, and you should never need to post to more than
3 or 4 groups.

Go back and read that Getting started link. It will help you use these
newsgroups, not just today, but any time you need help in the future.
