Good idea :) I have that folder included in a nightly specific-item backup along with some of my "must-saves", *.PST Outlook, things like that.
I had a little of the old-day jitters when I deleted that Favorites folder even though I knew it was going to the Recycle Bin
I'm not brave though. I just cloned my HDD earlier today, my monthly backup practice. There's nothing like having that complete spare HDD to remove any doubts when doing something in Windows that's new for me.
BTW, I like reading your posts at this forum :)
Thanks. I guess it's sort of like test-driving a car. After I clone every 4 weeks, I boot up on my Target HDD and give it a workout, launch IE, Outlook, a couple of apps, to insure that it's a working spare HDD before returning it to the shelf.
I'm surprised at the # of PC users that don't have a backup routine. I read some of that at the Norton forum and I feel bummed out for other members there that routinely post about intrusion headaches, malware, virus, etc.
I learned a few years ago that it's hard to beat having a complete bootable spare HDD when that happens. It's bailed me out a couple of times during the last couple of years.
The bummer to me is seeing others going through that hassle, downloading cleanup tools, paying online techs to help them recover their systems.
Once one learns some of the basics about cloning or imaging, it's a great way to be prepared and to have that peace of mind on the shelf.
I'm not in the class of you guys here at this forum. I'm still a rookie when it comes to a lot of this PC world, but I've learned a lot from the members here
I can't see your video in the post. That may be due to my IE settings or something similar.
