After I lost files as a result of a s/w crash I want to backup all
that=B4s important. Is there an utility somewhere to write to CD say, =

all
files in My Documents, and selected, named files?


My Documents are in c:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents
but can be relocated elsewhere.

Where are the netscape files located.... say, address book, bookmarks,=


and mailboxes?


c:\Program Files\Netscape. Bookmarks are saved as one file eg
bookmarks.htm
Where are the Outlook files.... calendar, tasks, etc.?


MS Outlook or Outlook Express?
For OE, they are stored in c:\documents and settings\ usually.
Open OE, select Tools, Options, Maintenance, Store Folder.
For Outlook, goto Tools, Services or Email Accounts and look up
properties or advanced settings for location of PST file.

Any suggestion as to a good way to go about this?


Files and settings transfer wizard will back it all up for you, save
the backup file in your CD Burner directory
e.g.
c:\documents and settings\username\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\CD Burning
and then you can burn it direct to CD when done.

The shortcut to start the wizard is in your Start Menu under
Accessories System Tools. The "Help and Support" file has some
information about how to use the program.

Below is a link to an article in the MS Knowledge Base:
