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 Backup Status and Configuration.
This program is found in Accessories System Tools within the
Start menu. You should make a backup disk with all your pass-
words 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.
