The programs described below are part of your Windows operating
system. You will find additional information on these programs in the
Windows Help file.
DATA SECURITY
Back up data regularly on external media such as a CD-R or CD-
RW. Windows offers both a Backup program and a Files and
Settings Transfer Wizard.
Both programs are found in Accessories/System Tools within
the Start menu. You should make a backup disk with all your
passwords and the operating system’s original configuration.
MAINTENANCE PROGRAMS
You can avoid some hardware and software errors with disk main-
tenance programs such as Disk Defragmenter and Disk
Cleanup. The program System Information can also be helpful
since it gives you detailed information about your system configu-
ration. You will find these programs in Accessories/System
Tools.
PASSWORD RESET DISK
To protect individual user accounts from complications resulting
from lost passwords, users should create a password reset disk
and keep it in a safe place. If the user should forget his/her pass-
word, the password can be reset with the password reset disk so
that the user has access again to his/her local user account.
Windows Help describes how to create a password reset disk.
