Data and System Security
The programs described below are part of your Windows operat-
ing 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.
