=============================
To Change The Appearance Of A Single Folder In Windows XP!

1. Open My Documents.
2. Right-click the folder you want to customize, and then click Properties.
3. On the Customize tab, do one or all of the following:

Select A Folder Template!

When you choose a template from Use this folder type as a template, you apply specific features to your folder, such as specialized task links and viewing options for working with pictures and music.

To apply a folder template to all of the folders contained within your customized folder, select the Also apply this template to all subfolders check box.

Choose A Picture For Your Folder!

You can choose the picture that identifies a folder in Thumbnails view.

When you click:
- Choose Picture, you can find the picture you want to use to identify the folder.
- Restore Default, the last four image files you modified in the folder will be used to identify it.

Change The Folder Icon!

Click Change Icon to change the graphic that represents the folder in all views except Thumbnail view.

Side Notes:
- To open My Documents, double-click the My Documents icon on your desktop.
- If your folder does not contain image files, Windows does not generate folder pictures in Thumbnails view.
- You cannot customize the My Documents, My Pictures, and My Music folders. However, you can customize the folders they contain.

To Copy Files And Folders To A Writable CD!

1. Insert a blank, writable CD into the CD recorder.
2. Open My Computer.
3. Click the files or folders you want to copy to the CD. To select more than one file, hold down the CTRL key while you click the files you want. Then, under File and Folder Tasks, click Copy this file, Copy this folder, or Copy the selected items.

If the files are located in My Pictures, under Picture Tasks, click Copy to CD or Copy all items to CD, and then skip to step 5.
4. In the Copy Items dialog box, click the CD recording drive, and then click Copy.
5. In My Computer, double-click the CD recording drive. Windows displays a temporary area where the files are held before they are copied to the CD. Verify that the files and folders that you intend to copy to the CD appear under Files Ready to be Written to the CD.
6. Under CD Writing Tasks, click Write these files to CD. Windows displays the CD Writing Wizard. Follow the instructions in the wizard.

Side Notes:
- To open My Computer, double-click the My Computer icon on the desktop.
- Do not copy more files to the CD than it will hold. Standard CDs hold up to 700 megabytes (MB). High-capacity CDs hold up to 850 MB.
- Be sure that you have enough disk space on your hard disk to store the temporary files that are created during the CD writing process. For a standard CD, Windows reserves up to 700 MB of the available free space.
- After you copy files or folders to the CD, it is useful to view the CD to confirm that the files are copied.

The Windows Backup Utility Supports Five Methods Of Backing Up Data!

The Backup utility supports five methods of backing up data on your computer or network.
- Copy backup

A copy backup copies all selected files but does not mark each file as having been backed up (in other words, the archive attribute is not cleared). Copying is useful if you want to back up files between normal and incremental backups because copying does not affect these other backup operations.

- Daily backup

A daily backup copies all selected files that have been modified the day the daily backup is performed. The backed-up files are not marked as having been backed up (in other words, the archive attribute is not cleared).

- Differential backup

A differential backup copies files created or changed since the last normal or incremental backup. It does not mark files as having been backed up (in other words, the archive attribute is not cleared). If you are performing a combination of normal and differential backups, restoring files and folders requires that you have the last normal as well as the last differential backup.

- Incremental backup

An incremental backup backs up only those files created or changed since the last normal or incremental backup. It marks files as having been backed up (in other words, the archive attribute is cleared). If you use a combination of normal and incremental backups, you will need to have the last normal backup set as well as all incremental backup sets in order to restore your data.

- Normal backup

A normal backup copies all selected files and marks each file as having been backed up (in other words, the archive attribute is cleared). With normal backups, you need only the most recent copy of the backup file or tape to restore all of the files. You usually perform a normal backup the first time you create a backup set.

Backing up your data using a combination of normal backups and incremental backups requires the least amount of storage space and is the quickest backup method. However, recovering files can be time-consuming and difficult because the backup set can be stored on several disks or tapes.

Backing up your data using a combination of normal backups and differential backups is more time-consuming, especially if your data changes frequently, but it is easier to restore the data because the backup set is usually stored on only a few disks or tapes.
