My HP PC didn't come with a backup program. Win XP home program is giving
me errors.
I downloaded DeepBurner and it looks good, I can understand it and I think I
like it.
I'm trying to figure out what to backup...I'm mostly interested in data
files. Address Books etc, basic stuff

We have 4 users (Gerry, Traci, Trina (all limited)) and Lisa (Administrator)
But under Docs and Settings I have:

Gerry.YOUR-B79WZ4ROSE.000,
Gerry,
Traci,
Trina,
Lisa,
Owner,
Administrator.YOUR-B79WZ4ROSE,
Administrator,
All Users!!!

I did some editing of my favorites today, and I checked....Owner is correct
as far as my Favs go....Lisa and Administrator and Administrator!@#%$$%@%$
are all not correct.

I just want to get rid of some junk!!

Can someone pls help me!

....Lisa

Log on to one of the user profiles, open a DOS box and type
SET
Remember the folder name given under USERPROFILE. Do this for all
users. Boot to the Safe Mode, log on as the Administrator and repeat.
Now check the profile folders that have not been mentioned for data
that you want to keep and then delete them from the Safe Mode. Do not
delete the ALL USERS folder.
