I came across a FAQ about using WinXP's Backup Program to backup your files
and folders, which I didn't know XP had. The answer stated that this program
was located in the "accessories" catagory, but if it wasn't there that it
would have to be installed using their XP CD. I would really like to obtain
this program for my Home Edition, but unfortunately, my computer came with XP
already installed and I don't have access to a CD. Is it possible to
download this program at no cost elsewhere or am I S.O.L. because my CPU
purchase didn't come with a CD? I appreciate any time or effort put into
helping get the answers I am seeking. And Thank You.

Unfortunately you'll need the disc to install Windows Backup. However, there
are plenty of free backup alternatives out there. I list of freeware backup
tools can be found here:
