Software Updates and Recovery
If you plan to select the items you want to back up, rather than
backing up your entire system, the following suggestions may be
helpful:
■ On many notebooks, data files are stored by default in the My
Documents folder. If you created data files in other locations,
be sure to check all the possible locations.
■ Templates are often stored in the folders of their associated
applications. For example, a Microsoft Word template that
you created may be stored at C:\ Program Files\ Microsoft
Office\ Templates.
■ The shortcuts on a desktop are often stored in C:\ Documents
and Settings\ (Your User Account)\ Desktop.
■ If you have customized the settings in a window, toolbar, or
menu bar, you may want to take a screen shot of that element.
The screen shot could be a time-saving reference when you
begin resetting your preferences. A screen shot is a copy of
an element on the screen. To copy the element from the
screen and paste it into a Word document:
a. Display the element on the screen.
b. Copy the element or entire screen:
◆ To copy only the active window, press alt+fn+prt sc.
◆
To copy the entire screen, press fn+prt sc.
c. To paste the copied image into a document, open Word,
and then select Edit > Paste.
