<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 18.0pt;">Microsoft
OneDrive is an online storage space you can use. It enables you to save
and store your files in an automatically encrypted form on Microsoft
servers. The first 5GB are free. After that you have to pay for any
additional storage unless you have Office 365 when you are entitled to 1TB of
free storage. </span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-NZ; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-NZ;"></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 20.4pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 18.0pt;">It is
accessible from almost any electronic device, a computer, tablet, phone, or
Xbox. It is compatible with any Microsoft, Apple, iOS, Android or Windows
Phone product that has the OneDrive app installed on it. </span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-NZ; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-NZ;"></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 20.4pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 18.0pt;">It can be
used as a back-up or for accessing or sharing any of your files upon it from
almost any other electronic device on which you’ve installed the OneDrive
app. For example, you can access copies of meeting papers, travel
itineraries, any essential documents like your passport or bankcards, or family
photos or anything else.</span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-NZ; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-NZ;"></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 18.0pt;">Its
flexibility in use and compatibility with other systems and devices make it one
of the most useful of the Cloud based storage programmes. </span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-NZ; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-NZ;"></span></div>

</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 18.0pt;">For ordinary users like us there are several things you have to
watch. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 18.0pt;">First, to take advantage of the 5GB free limit you might have to
edit what is on your OneDrive. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 18.0pt;">Secondly, OneDrive has such universal
application you need to make sure you have the correct set up for your computer
and device[s]. Otherwise you might find, for example, that files you want
on your computer's hard drive disappear if you delete them off OneDrive to keep
it within the 5GB free limit. Importantly, for those of us using Windows 10 OneDrive
is our default drive for all of our files, which is not <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">very likely to be</span> what we
want if we are to keep within the 5GB free limit. This can be changed but there
is still a risk that we might accidentally delete material from our computers
if we follow the instructions for OneDrive relating to a different operating
system. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 18.0pt;">Thirdly, OneDrive and the instructions for using it have had lots of
development and changes recently. As a result web page materials and
advice are often out of date. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 18.0pt;">Fourthly, if you are using it with a
non-Microsoft operating system it is just possible files might not be
compatible with OneDrive.</span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-NZ; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-NZ;"><br />

<b><i><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 18.0pt;">An
overview of what you need.</span></i></b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-NZ; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-NZ;"></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 20.4pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 18.0pt;">Because
OneDrive can be used on so many different devices and operating systems these
notes can only show you the way to what you need and cannot deal with all the
different situations that arise. </span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-NZ; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-NZ;"></span></div>

the essential ingredients. We’ll come to some of the detail shortly.</span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-NZ; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-NZ;"></span></div>

account'. OneDrive account is no more than an e-mail address and

Microsoft account is particularly handy if you’re running a Microsoft

it is necessary either to sign up with a valid e-mail account or to create a

Microsoft account is particularly handy if you’re running a Microsoft operating

copy of all your computer settings. If you have no Microsoft devices of
any kind it might be different. </span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-NZ; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-NZ;"></span></div>

There
are a number of excellent non-free anti-virus programs and security
suites, some of which have free versions that are said to be better than
the three above, see, for example, <a href="http://www.techsupportalert.com/best-free-anti-virus-software.htm#Quick_Selection_Guide" target="_blank">Gizmo's Best Free Antivirus Software</a> and <a href="http://www.techradar.com/news/software/applications/best-free-antivirus-1321277" target="_blank">TechRadar's</a>
assessments and <a href="http://www.av-comparatives.org/dynamic-tests/" target="_blank">AV-Comparatives</a>.
Every new review seems to score a different anti-virus program or security
suite as the best. If you need one or need to change make sure you
get a well-regarded one by having a look at recent reviews on the internet
or in one of the PC magazines. Do not feel you have to change
your existing program just because it no longer scores quite so well.
Ultimately, there is no one "best" AV application.</span></li>

varied. There are numerous sources of information about scams, a number

give good advice about scams, including the different types of scams, how to
protect yourself from them and what to do if you've been scammed. Many scams,
but not all, rely on appealing to our seemingly in-born wish to get something
cheaply or for free. Others prey on people looking for love. Others

worthy of separate mention as its a common form of scam relating to tech
support. A recent US survey indicated 2 out of 3 people had experienced a
tech support scam in the previous 12 months. Even
experienced computer users are regularly caught by this con. These
programs are called “scare-ware” because they exploit a person’s fear of online
viruses and security threats. The scam has many variations, but there are some
tell-tale signs. For example:</span></span></span></span></span></div>

accept an offered "free scan" it will claim to find a host of
problems. Within seconds you’re getting urgent pop-ups to buy security
software. After you pay money for the software, the program tells you that your
problems are fixed. The reality: there was nothing to fix. And what’s worse,
the program now installed on your computer could be harmful.</span></span></span></span></span><br />

purveyors also go to great lengths to make their product and service look
legitimate. For example, if you buy the software, you may get an email receipt
with a customer service phone number.</span></span></span></span></span><br />

designed to rip people off. </span></span></span></span></span></div>

Identity theft, like scare-ware, is to make you poorer. So if there is
some repetition in what follows it is with the hope it will stop you losing
money through identity theft.<br />
Here is what the New Zealand Police web site says about it:</span></span></span></span></span></div>

and has no geographical boundaries – victims and offenders can be on opposite

<span style="color: windowtext; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-NZ;">Here
are four of six suggestions from <a href="http://thundercloud.net/infoave/new/?p=2010" target="_blank">Cloudeight InfoAve</a> on
what to do in respect of spam:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="color: windowtext; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-NZ;">“1.
Never respond to unsolicited email. One response or “hit” <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">... </span>is enough for spammers to <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">[persevere]</span>. In addition, a response
lets the spammer know that your email address is active, which makes it more
valuable and opens the door to more spam.....</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="color: windowtext; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-NZ;">3.
Never follow a spam email’s instructions to reply with the word “remove” or
“unsubscribe” in the subject line or body of the message unless you are sure of
and trust the source of the email. Normally, this is a ploy to get you to react
to the email, which tells the spammer that your email address is valid.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="color: windowtext; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-NZ;">4.
Never click on a URL or web address listed within a spam email, even if the
message tells you that’s how you unsubscribe. This is another trick that tells
the spammer your email address is valid. Once they know your address is valid
it can be added to databases which are sold to professional spammers on DVD or
CD for a few hundred dollars. And this will result in you getting more spam <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">.....</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="color: windowtext; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-NZ;">5.
Don’t fall for sites set up to help you remove your name from spam lists. <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">S</span>ome of these sites MIGHT be legitimate, but most are collecting
valid email addresses to sell to spammers. If a collector gets your address,
they know it’s a valid, working email address, and it is worth <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">... </span>money to
them. They’ll put your email address in one of their databases and sell them to professional spammers. Not only won’t your email address be
removed from spam lists, it will added to [m<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">ore]</span> lists. And you’ll get more
spam....."</span></div>

<span style="color: windowtext; font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-NZ;">ISPs
filter your mail for spam. Sometimes they filter out genuine email and
you might not even be aware it existed. You <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">should</span> regularly check your web
mail from your ISP and look in the spam folder to see if by some mischance mail
you want has got into it. Mark it ‘This is not spam’ and it shouldn't
be dumped in your spam folder again.</span></div>

router. Your home broadband router has its settings fixed by your
ISP. Your wireless router must be set up for maximum internet
security. If you have had it installed for you the installer should have
attended to that. If you did it yourself you must ensure the security is
the tightest you can make it. In particular you need Wi‑Fi Protected
Access (WPA or WPA2).</span></span></span></span></span></div>

WPA2 require users to provide a security key to connect. Once the key has been
validated, all data sent between the computer or device and the access point is
encrypted. If possible, use WPA2 because it is the most secure.
Almost all new wireless adapters support WPA and WPA2, but some older ones
don't. In WPA-Personal and WPA2-Personal, each user is given the same
passphrase. Go to <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/safety/online-privacy/home-wireless.aspx" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Microsoft's advice</span></a> for home networks for more.<br />
I hope it’s not necessary to add a warning about using public facilities in
libraries or cafes or free Wi-Fi for accessing any private information, such as
e-mails or banking or anything else that requires you to log on to a
site. You simply don't know whether they are safe or not. DO <b>NOT</b>
TREAT THEM AS SAFE. </span></span></span></span></span></div>

respond immediately to messages of unknown origin: double-check the number

it’s a 0900 number – or a number in a strange format. Scammers sometimes

And if you want the travel of your choice with the greatest savings some forward planning is essential, whether it be for air, rail or accommodation bookings or to gain access to some things you might really want to see or hear. Its not much good booking to stay in a place on the day your destination of choice is closed or of arriving without an essential permit or visa. If you know the kind of holiday you want you will often get better deals by signing up for newsletters, and this can be the case for all sorts of things be they tours, flights, accommodation, rail or even parking at the airport. Here is but one example, <a href="http://m.newsletter.voyages-sncf.com/nl/jsp/m.jsp?c=Km5Z3u1m6eeXoqwlH7XMiw%3D%3D" target="_blank">a SNCF rail offer</a>.</span></span><br />

<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">There are some general tips:</span></div>
<ul style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<li><span style="font-size: x-large;">Be flexible with your proposed schedule.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-large;">Book well in advance.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-large;">Time your travel, e.g., avoid holiday periods.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-large;">Try opting for returning from a different city from that you arrived at.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-large;">Flights involving a stop over are often cheaper than non-stop.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: x-large;">Remember that there are better times of
the year, as there are high, low and shoulder seasons for fares, and
better days of the week, usually mid-week, for cheaper travel and that red eye, usually but not always
early morning, flights are often cheaper than others.</span></li>
</ul>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">You probably know the airlines push out early bird or companion travel lures in the last and first quarters of the year. The travel agents usually have a better handle on the long haul routes than we can get ourselves and if you are looking for the best long distance deals it almost certainly pays to use an agent if you can find one that does not charge fees. Often the best deals involve multiple carriers and the avoidance of departures from airports with high taxes, such as Heathrow. It can be difficult to handle all this for yourself while the agents have it at their finger tips on purpose made software. However, don't be dissuaded by that comment from looking for yourself. Even if you end up using an agent it is best to work out what you want to do and get an idea of what is offering for yourself. For example, the sites of the individual air lines nearly always list their promotions and specials. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">For mo<span style="font-size: x-large;">re tips and informati<span style="font-size: x-large;">on on cheap flying look at<span style="font-size: x-large;"> <a href="http://www.buzzle.com/articles/cheap-airfare-how-to-buy-dirt-cheap-airline-tickets.html" target="_blank">Buzzle</a> and a <a href="http://www.pcworld.com/article/228247/small_sites_provide_big_airfare_savings.html#tk.rss_news" target="_blank">PC Wor</a><span style="font-size: x-large;"><a href="http://www.pcworld.com/article/228247/small_sites_provide_big_airfare_savings.html#tk.rss_news" target="_blank">ld article</a>, US oriented, which says</span></span></span></span></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span></span></span></span></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">that Twitter best source of up-to-date information these d<span style="font-size: x-large;">ays.</span></span></span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">If your travel is local or to a Pacific destination it is often much easier to do it for yourself on-line. To quickly get an idea of the cheapest fares between two places, either return or one-way, simply type into your preferred search engine "cheap flights from [A] to [B]" and then start choosing from the sites that are listed. They will almost certainly include some of the sites listed below.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><a href="http://www.hipmunk.com/" target="_blank">Hipmunk</a></span> </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">and </span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><a href="http://www.skyscanner.co.nz/" target="_blank">SkyScanner</a> </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">are very useful sites for checking flights and prices both domestically and world wide.</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"> So is <a href="http://www.sky-tours.com/" target="_blank">Sky-tours</a>, which I recently used to get the cheapest direct flight from Munich to Stockholm. </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Have a look at <a href="http://www.jetabroad.com.au/" target="_blank">Jetabroad</a>, Sydney based, which will quote you a price in NZ$ for your intended travel in whatever class you choose. There is also <a href="http://www.rome2rio.com/" target="_blank">Rome2Rio</a>, based in Melbourne, that helps you plan from anywhere to anywhere.</span> </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">For cheap Air NZ flights go to <a href="http://flightbookings.airnewzealand.co.nz/vgrabview/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #5588aa; text-decoration: none;">Air NZ Grab a Seat</span></a>, where its specials are shown. For a comparison of cheapest NZ fares for some air lines go to the <a href="http://www.flightcentre.co.nz/" target="_blank">Flight Centre</a> or <a href="http://www.webjet.co.nz/" target="_blank">Webjet.co.nz</a>. However, beware of booking on those sites as there are fees involved, although sometimes they might still save you real money. [There are similar sites for other countries such as the <a href="http://www.webjet.com.au/" target="_blank">Australian Webjet</a> site and the more general <a href="http://jetweb.se/" target="_blank">Jetweb</a> site.] <a href="http://www.finetravel.co.nz/" target="_blank">FineTravel</a> is another New Zealand site listing deals to overseas destinations. You can of cour<span style="font-size: x-large;">se also deal direct with people <span style="font-size: x-large;">through agencies like <a href="http://nztravelbrokers.co.nz/Default.aspx?page=1576" target="_blank">NZ TravelBrok</a><span style="font-size: x-large;"><a href="http://nztravelbrokers.co.nz/Default.aspx?page=1576" target="_blank">ers</a>.</span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">For flight information generally, if <a href="http://www.skyscanner.co.nz/" target="_blank">SkyScanner</a>, </span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><a href="http://www.hipmunk.com/" target="_blank">Hipmunk</a></span>, or one of the other sites already mentioned hasn't supplied the answer, you could look at one o<span style="font-size: x-large;">r more of a number of sites depending on your <span style="font-size: x-large;">curiosity and patience levels. There is</span></span> <a href="http://www.zuji.com.au/" target="_blank">Zuji</a>, a division of Travelocity, which covers flights from New Zealand and Australia in particular. Zuji's <a href="http://www.zuji.com/" target="_blank">home site</a> gives links to its other sites world wide. There are no fees involved with Zuji. </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">There are global search engines for flights and much else such as </span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><a href="http://www.farecompare.com/" target="_blank">FareCompare</a>, <a href="http://www.whichairline.com/" target="_blank">WhichAirline</a>, <a href="http://www.ebookers.com/" target="_blank">ebookers</a>, <a href="http://www.priceline.com/" target="_blank">Priceline</a>, <a href="http://www.gocompare.com/travel/" target="_blank">gocompare</a> and </span> <a href="http://www.expedia.co.nz/cheap-flights.aspx" target="_blank">Expedia</a>, which is a NZ site, <a href="http://www.dohop.com/" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: none;">DoHop</span></a>, <a href="http://travel.yahoo.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #5588aa; text-decoration: none;">Yahoo</span></a>, <a href="http://www.kayak.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #5588aa; text-decoration: none;">Kayak</span></a>, <a href="http://www.mobissimo.com/search_airfare.php" target="_blank"><span style="color: #5588aa; text-decoration: none;">Mobissimo</span></a></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">and <a href="http://www.yapta.com/" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: none;">Yapta</span></a>, </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">although it is very US oriented<span style="font-size: x-large;">.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">If you are booking the travel for yourself it makes sense to sort out what looks good and then go direct to the site(s) of the airline(s) involved. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">When buying air travel be aware of all the wrinkles introduced of recent years, not only with taxes and departure fees by governments and airport companies but also charges for luggage, food, the use of credit cards for payment and the like by the airlines. </span></div>

<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">If you are concerned about jet lag there are all sorts of suggestions such as flying at night and from east to west: see <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_lag#Direction_of_travel" target="_blank">Wikipedia</a>, <a href="http://www.fodors.com/news/story_4457.html" target="_blank">Avoid Jet Lag</a> and <a href="http://www.frommers.com/articles/2554.html" target="_blank">Hit the Ground Running</a>.<br />

If you are travelling for any distance and are long in the leg or have other seating needs it <span style="font-size: x-large;">does pay to check out what you are letting yourself into <span style="font-size: x-large;">before you commit to a booking. </span></span>To get the seat you want you may well have to <span style="font-size: x-large;">pay a premium and you might have to </span>go through an agent as you might have to commit to your travel before you can get a seat on-line.

Should you wish to test The Man in Seat 61 or dig deeper you can go to <a href="http://www.sinfin.net/railways/world/" target="_blank">Railways of the World</a> and choose a country. At least for much of Europe, including the UK, and the USA it is pretty easy to book tickets and often seats on-line, even if you might have to pick them up in the country you are travelling in. Often bookings don't open until about 90 days prior to the travel date, although Eurostar is 120 days and some are less than 90 days. For undergrounds or urban rail try <a href="http://people.reed.edu/%7Ereyn/transport.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #5588aa; text-decoration: none;">everything you need to know about the world's undergrounds including maps</span></a> or <a href="http://www.amadeus.net/home/new/subwaymaps/en/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #5588aa; text-decoration: none;">just maps</span></a> or <a href="http://www.urbanrail.net/index.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #5588aa; text-decoration: none;">urban rail</span></a> generally.

<b>Accommodation?</b><br />
<br />
<i>General: </i>If it is just for a night or two then an hotel, a B & B, a motel or the like is probably easiest and best, but if it is for about a week or more then an apartment might be best, while if its a lengthy stay then a swap house arrangement or a long term let might be best<span style="font-size: x-large;">.</span> The shorter the period the more you need to be close to what you want to see and do. Google Maps can be a great aid to this.</span><br />

<i>How far is it from your accommodation to your destination?</i> Various city transport systems will tell you how far it is from where you are to where you want to go and how long it will take, e.g., <a href="http://www.ratp.fr/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #5588aa; text-decoration: none;">in Paris</span></a>, <a href="http://www.metro.net/around/" target="_blank">Los Angeles</a> or <a href="http://www.septa.org/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #5588aa; text-decoration: none;">Philadelphia</span></a>. You can also find out via Google Earth or Maps and other mapping tools.<br />
<br />
<i>What will it cost?</i> Always check on the web through different sites and with any travel agent you might be using. There is no rule as to what the cheapest and best alternative for you might be - sometimes its from the "home" site, sometimes it is through an agent, sometimes it is for a package, sometimes it is well in advance and sometimes last minute. However, you can almost always be sure it will be cheaper through the internet than over the counter. For example did you know you can get parking at <a href="http://www.wellingtonairport.co.nz/" target="_blank">Wellington Airport</a> cheaper on-line than at the airport and cheaper still if its a month or more ahead? And if you are booking direct or by telephone it doesn't hurt to mention what you can get it for on-line as sometimes the price will be met or you will have it confirmed that its cheaper to book on-line. </span><br />

the back cover in the case of a New Zealand passport.
Completing this section along with your email and a telephone number at which you can be texted might save you a lot of grief if you mislay your passport at any time. Having a slip of paper with your contact details for your next stop in the passport could also help. While an
emergency contact name and phone number is helpful, anyone finding a
passport might be reluctant to call the number (especially if its an international
number) and the process of tracking you will take longer.</span></span>

<b>Money</b> - You can't go without it. Sometimes there are wrinkles as to the cheapest and best ways of getting it. Cash, credit cards, debit cards, travel debit cards in the currency of your destination, travellers' cheques and US$, all have their place depending where you are going. Make sure you protect yourself as far as you can with how you carry it and keep details of your cards, cheques or whatever and who to ring in case of loss or theft. Make sure also that both your bank and credit card company know when and where you are going so that there is less chance of money problems when you are abroad.<br />

<br />
<b>Another Essential</b> <b>- Travel Insurance</b>: Look at linking it to a high level credit card if you possibly can as that is often the cheapest way. Mind you not all banks are created equal and you might have to shop around and make sure you read the fine print. Usually you have to pay 50% of the main travel cost with the card. Otherwise its a case of trying to compare apples with apples. If you're a member of Consumer or have access to its magazine look at its web site or magazine as it has very good articles on all aspects of travel insurance generally with very useful comparisons. Don't forget that age and health considerations can affect things mightily so do your home work. And don't forget that North America is the most expensive place for medical help, which makes it all the more essential you have appropriate insurance if you are going there. <br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
<b>Baggage and package:</b> <i>Think light.</i> As has been said elsewhere, not entirely in jest, take half what you think you will need and twice the money. If you can get everything into a carry on bag it will save you both money and time. For bags look at the Travel Insider site, dealing with <a href="http://www.thetravelinsider.info/travelaccessories/carryonluggagereviews.htm" target="_blank">carry on</a> and <a href="http://www.thetravelinsider.info/luggage/checkedluggagereviews.htm" target="_blank">checked</a> luggage and <a href="http://www.thetravelinsider.info/info/packingtips1.htm#AboutYourLuggage" target="_blank">how to pack</a>, </span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana";">which has links to very good check lists</span></span><span style="font-size: x-large;">.

If you're going to the USA make sure any lock complies with US security requirements.<br />
<br />
<b>Simple Security:</b> Don't forget to make copies of all essential documents such as passports, visas, travel insurance policy, driver's licence and credit cards, any medication or eye lenses prescriptions and copies of essential telephone numbers in case you need to use your travel insurance or cancel credit cards or contact your Government's Embassy or High Commission office or your family or bank. And while you are at it why not scan copies of essential documents and essential information on to a document on your computer and not only put it on a thumb or flash drive, preferably in an encrypted form, but e-mail it to yourself, your travelling companion (if any) and a member or members of your family so that wherever you are and whatever happens you can access what is necessary. Particularly if you are going off the beaten track think of registering your travel movements with <a href="https://safetravel.govt.nz/" target="_blank">Safe Travel NZ</a>. Make sure you always have on your person a note of essential details relating to you in case of an accident or disabling illness. And if you're travelling with electronic devices think of their security, e.g., </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">before departure, fully back up all devices you plan to take with you, encrypt essential information on them and protect your mobile phone with a pass code.</span><br />

Your monitor should be set to its optimum resolution already. It is not a good idea to fiddle with it to improve what you see. Microsoft has built in aids in each of its operating systems to help us and our e-mail and web server programmes and a few keyboard shortcuts help further.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">2. Did you know you can increase or reduce the size of your screen text by holding down your Ctrl key on your keyboard and either press the plus or minus key on your keyboard or roll the wheel on your mouse?</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">3. The major built in aids are the <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/accessibility/default.mspx">Accessibility Wizard</a> in Windows XP and the Ease of Access Centres in Vista and Windows 7. The wizard in Windows XP is easily opened and used through All Programmes –Accessibility – Accessibility Wizard. Go to it to learn all about it and other aids. When you are opening it you will see there is also a Magnifier in the Accessibility menu. If you are using Vista or Windows 7 go to Control Panel – Ease of Access – Ease of Access Centre and follow up what you want. There is not only access to a magnifier but other more sophisticated aids.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">4. You can also take advantage of Clear Type technology, with the reservation that some people find it does not suit them. If it does not suit you turn it off. To use it go to <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/typography/ClearTypeFAQ.mspx">Microsoft’s help sheet</a>. Once you have made sure you have clear type click on the <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/typography/cleartype/tuner/tune.aspx">link</a> and follow it.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">5. If you are working regularly in your own documents make sure that your font and font size are easy to read and set them as your defaults. You might find <b>bold type like this</b> helps as well. When you are sending e-mails you can adopt the same ideas up to a point in whatever system you use.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">6. These steps help with what you generate and see on your own screen but they don’t much help with what other people create and show you through web servers or e-mail programmes.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">7. In both Outlook Express and Mozilla Thunderbird you can set your own default fonts through Tools – Options. In Outlook Express you go to Read and Fonts to make what changes you seek. In Thunderbird you go to Display – Formatting – Fonts and Encodings – Fonts.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">8. There are similar aids in both Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox as to what we see on their screens. In Internet Explorer you get to the controls through Tools – Internet Options – General – Appearance and then use Fonts and/or Accessibility to improve what you see. In Firefox you go to Tools – Options – Content – Fonts and Colours.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">9. I’m sure there must be other ways as well to improve the ease of reading material on your screen but I hope the above will help. This note uses Verdana font.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
<br />
<b>Summary:</b><br />
<br />
To use the Internet you need a computer of some kind, an internet service provider, a web browser and a search engine. I take it for granted that you have access to a computer, be it a desktop, notebook, netbook, tablet or smart phone, and an internet service provider. This workshop concentrates on the other two essentials, a web browser and a search engine, with particular emphasis on Google, the commonest search engine at present.<br />
<br />
<b>A web browser:</b><br />
<br />
Before you can search on the internet you need an internet or web browser provided by a software supplier. The commonest are Microsoft's Internet Explorer, now up to version 9, </span><span style="font-size: large;">Google's Chrome, now up to version 20, and </span><span style="font-size: large;">Mozilla's Firefox, now up to version 13. </span><span style="font-size: large;"> Which is the most popular depends on which data base is used as Wikipedia's <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_web_browsers" target="_blank">users in June 2012</a></span><span style="font-size: large;"> explains. There are two other browsers of some importance. Some of you will have heard of Safari or be using it, as it is the Apple Mac browser, </span><span style="font-size: large;">and if you have a smart phone with an integral browser it is probably based on the same technology as Safari</span><span style="font-size: large;">. You are probably less likely to have heard of Opera, which can be excellent for use on a smart phone or otherwise as it uses very little of the computer's resources. <br />
<br />
Browsers, like most computer tools, have been reviewed on the internet and some links can be found in the addendum at the foot of this blog. For most of us the choice is between Firefox, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer. Each of these has different strengths and characteristics and which you use will be a matter of personal choice. There is no "best" browser as our priorities are different and the qualities of the various browsers change with the versions. <br />
<br />
You can run several browsers on your computer at the same time and there is no reason why you shouldn't do that and decide which you prefer for yourself. If you're an Apple Mac user there is nothing wrong with Safari. If you need a browser on your smart phone - most have their own - or on an old operating system with little memory then Opera is the way to go as it is the only one generally recommended for such use.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Which ever browser you decide upon make sure you keep it up-to-date as older versions are more insecure.<br />
<br />
<b>Next requirement - a search engine:</b><br />
<br />
Once we have opened our web browser most of us seem to have our favourite search engine and it’s not unusual for it to be our home page. Google is the best known and most popular of the web searching engines but, like any of the others, it won’t always give you what you want and you need to go elsewhere. However, as Google is the first choice of so many of us I will enlarge on its use before indicating where else you can look and why.<br />
<br />
<b>"Googling"</b><br />
<br />
Lets just look at the Google search page and see how you can use it. You immediately see there are words along the top left hand corner of the page. Most of those are self-explanatory even although they are not all related to searching on the web. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
The format of the rest of the page changes from time to time and also depends on the version you have chosen.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
Key elememts that will be available at some stage in your use of Google usually include the following:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">In the top right hand corner there is a gear wheel Tool icon. A left click on that shows four options at present. Search Settings is the most important at the moment as it enables you to make various decisions as to how your searches are to be carried out and where you see the results. <br />
<br />
Then in the middle of the page there is the box for entering the detail of your search. Below the box for entering your search details are the selection boxes for Google Search and I'm Feeling Lucky. You can left click on anything you see on the page to develop it. You will also note the page is available in Maori.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Somewhere on the page, usually after you have started searching there will be options to search Pages from NZ [giving NZ sites priority but not excluding other sites] or The Web, Advanced Search, Search Help and More Search Tools. You can safely click on any of these links to see what they involve.<br />
<br />
Google has its own <a href="http://www.googleguide.com/" target="_blank">GoogleGuide</a> called, 'Making Searching Easier". It also provides a <a href="http://support.google.com/websearch/?hl=en" target="_blank">Web Search Help</a> page, which gives you the same information, mostly, in a different and perhaps simpler format. That has links to pages such as <a href="http://support.google.com/websearch/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=134479" target="_blank">Basic Search Help</a>. You can explore this material for yourself. Like everything else Google does there is incredible detail and much repetition. Don't be put off by that. Another page which can be very useful is <a href="http://www.google.com/help/features.html" target="_blank">Search Features</a>, which gives leads to very useful tools. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Various other sites give tips how to best use Google such as this <a href="http://www.pcworld.com/article/239263/how_to_google_like_google_googles.html#tk.rss_news" target="_blank">PC World page</a>. <br />
<br />
You should be aware that Google, like other search engines, keeps a record of everything you look at unless you have the rather sophisticated know-how necessary to carry out the steps available to prevent that. For more on this you can look at <a href="http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/336607/6_ways_to_protect_your_privacy_on_Google" target="_blank">6 Ways to protect your privacy on Google</a>, from ComputerWorld, <a href="http://computerworld.co.nz/news.nsf/security/how-to-protect-your-privacy-on-google" target="_blank">Protect your Privacy from Google</a> and PCWorld's <a href="http://www.pcworld.com/article/218151/google_celebrates_data_privacy_dayreally.html" target="_blank">ironic comments.</a> <br />
<br />
Google has country specific search sites. You will have noticed our home site is Google NZ. I have sometimes found it very useful to use its <a href="http://www.google.com.au/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #5588aa; text-decoration: none;">Australian</span></a>,<a href="http://www.google.co.uk/" target="_blank"> UK</a> or <a href="http://www.google.com/ncr" target="_blank">USA</a> counterparts.<br />
<br />
In addition Google provides specialist search sites like <a href="http://scholar.google.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #5588aa; text-decoration: none;">Google Scholar</span></a>, and even a <a href="http://www.google.co.nz/alerts?hl+en" target="_blank">Google Alert</a> service, e-mailing you as to new results, the latter still in a beta form.<br />
<br />
<b>Some practical hints</b>:<br />
<br />
1. To make your search engine of choice your home page first open your search engine. If there is some other tab open close it.<br />
<br />
If you are using Internet Explorer as your web server then go to Tools>Internet Options>General>Home Page>Use Current and left click on it. Then go the bottom and left click on OK and it is done. If you want to reverse that just open whatever page it is you want to have as your home page and use the same method.<br />
<br />
If you are using Firefox as your web server then depending on the version go to Tools or Options>Options>General>Start Up>Home Page>Use Current Page and left click on it and then on OK and it is done. If you want to reverse that just open whatever page it is you want to have as your home page and use the same method.<br />
<br />
If you are using Chrome go to Tools>Settings>On startup>left click on "Open a specific page or set of pages" and on "Set Pages",copy in the address you want and click OK.<br />
<br />
2. If you are using Firefox or Internet Explorer then you have other search engines available to you through the box on the right hand side of your Navigation Toolbar. If you are using Chrome you can specify your default search engine of choice by going to Tools>Settings>Search and selecting your preferred search engine. <br />
</span><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
3. When using Google:<br />
- Open Search Settings by </span><span style="font-size: large;">left clicking on </span><span style="font-size: large;">the gear wheel Tool icon </span><span style="font-size: large;">in the top right corner of the Google page as soon as it is available to you and choos</span><span style="font-size: large;">e Search Settings. Make sure the settings are as you want them. </span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">I suggest you exclude Google Instant Predictions, set the Number of Results </span><span style="font-size: large;">at 30 or 50 per page </span><span style="font-size: large;"> and elect to open your search results in a new browser window. </span><span style="font-size: large;">Then save your preferences. You may find that from time to time your preferences have to be reset.<br />
- Keep search terms simple or just try typing in your question.<br />
- Use advanced search to search for an exact phrase or words until you know the shortcuts you find helpful.<br />
<br />
<b>Is there a “best” search engine or a “best” way of finding what we want on the Web?</b><br />
<br />
A search on Google for “searching the web” gave about 362,000,000 results in 0.20 seconds. A Google search for the “best search engine” gave about 1,000,000,000 results in 0.20 seconds. Mind you, the number of results isn’t everything as there is often much duplication in them. Those speeds are for 50 results per page.<br />
<br />
If you search for the same thing on different search engines the search results can be different. The University of Pittsburgh and the Pennsylvania State University in July 2005 released results of a study which showed that only 1.1% of results on the first page from </span><span style="font-size: large;">Google, Yahoo!, MSN, AOL and Ask, previously five of the most popular search engines in the USA,</span><span style="font-size: large;"> were the same.<br />
<br />
Search engines, like most things, have been reviewed on the web. In July 2011 <a href="http://www.consumersearch.com/www/internet/search-engine-reviews" target="_blank"><span style="color: #5588aa; text-decoration: none;">Consumer Search</span></a> updated an analysis of reviews of search engines. It reported that Google ranked top and Bing next with DuckDuckGo</span><span style="font-size: large;"> being selected as the best private browsing search engine. The site has much other very useful information about search engines.<br />
<br />
That analysis relied in part on a <a href="http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/TeachingLib/Guides/Internet/SearchEngines.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #5588aa; text-decoration: none;">review</span></a> by the University of California Berkeley Teaching Library, that certainly seems to have an objectivity lacking in some other reviews. It prefers Google, Yahoo! Search and Exalead, with an analysis of their particular features, in its assessment of the “best search engine”, last updated 8 May 2012. If you want to look at just one site about search engines this is possibly the best. It evaluates the engines and helps to guide you as to the best way to find what you want on the web. Equally if you want just one basic tutorial on searching the web look at the <a href="http://www.sc.edu/beaufort/library/pages/bones/bones.shtml" target="_blank"><span style="color: #5588aa; text-decoration: none;">University of South Carolina Beaufort Library site</span></a>, last updated 7 October 2010. <br />
<br />
Different search engines function differently. Google and Ask.com are link–ranking engines, which mean they consider the relevance and importance of the links that link to a website and the sites the website links to. On the other hand, Yahoo ranks by general content. It looks at keywords in the headings of the web page and in its content. Therefore, different search engines provide different results.<br />
<br />
If you want to delve further and get some idea of the full range of search engines, the ones best for particular subjects and their main strengths try going to <a href="http://www.internettutorials.net/" target="_blank">Internet Tutorials</a>, <a href="http://www.searchenginecolossus.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #5588aa; text-decoration: none;">Search Engine Colossus</span></a>, <a href="http://www.searchengineguide.com/searchengines.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #5588aa; text-decoration: none;">Search Engine Guide</span></a>, <a href="http://websearch.about.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #5588aa; text-decoration: none;">About.com</span></a>, <a href="http://www.searchengineshowdown.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #5588aa; text-decoration: none;">Search Engine Showdown</span></a> or <a href="http://www.philb.com/whichengine.htm" target="_blank"><span style="color: #5588aa; text-decoration: none;">Phil Bradley's site</span></a>, a very neat helpful site mentioned again below. Examples of specialist sites are <a href="http://www.namebase.org/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #5588aa; text-decoration: none;">NameBase</span></a>, <a href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-nz/default.aspx" target="_blank"><span style="color: #5588aa; text-decoration: none;">TechNet</span></a>, <a href="http://www.piperpat.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #5588aa; text-decoration: none;">Pipers</span></a>, which has a NZ connection, and <a href="http://www.nzs.com/"><span style="color: #5588aa; text-decoration: none;">NZ Search</span></a>, a specialist NZ search engine. A different kind of resource is <a href="http://www.wcl.govt.nz/mygateway/" target="_blank">Mygateway.info</a> linked to the Wellington City Libraries and giving access to materials not otherwise readily reached. Another unusual one worth special mention is <a href="http://theguidedb.com/" target="_blank">The Guide DB</a>, which theoretically enables you to source over 47 million different guides and manuals. <a href="http://www.thesearchenginelist.com/" target="_blank">The Search Engine List</a> maintains a list of search engines.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">If you want to use a number of search engines at the same time you can use a so-called meta-search engine such as <a href="http://www.dogpile.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #5588aa; text-decoration: none;">Dogpile</span></a> and <a href="http://mamma.com/" target="_blank">Mamma Metasearch</a>. They search other search engines and give you their version of the results. However, they have real limitations, some spelt out in the UC Berkeley Library pages and others at <a href="http://www.searchengineshowdown.com/multi/index.shtml" target="_blank"><span style="color: #5588aa; text-decoration: none;">Search Engine Showdown</span></a>.<br />
<br />
There are also multiple search engines. You enter a term into a master window and it gets copied to the search engines, including meta-search ones, that it lists. You then click on the engines you want to use. Each opens in its own window. One of the better ones is a local product, <a href="http://www.engines2go.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #5588aa; text-decoration: none;">Engines2Go</span></a>, the work of a Dr David Hingston of Heke St, Ngaio, which also has separate <a href="http://www.engines2go.com/au" target="_blank"><span style="color: #5588aa; text-decoration: none;">Australian</span></a> and <a href="http://www.engines2go.com/nz" target="_blank"><span style="color: #5588aa; text-decoration: none;">New Zealand</span></a> editions. [Unfortunately they haven't been updated since 2008.] I have sometimes got an answer through them when the main search engines have not been able to help. For example, I was once asked if I could find the source of -</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">"The craw's killed the poosie-o, the poosie-o, the poosie-o,</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The mickle cat sat down and grat</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In Willie's wee-bit hoosie-o."</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Google was no use at that time so I tried Engines2Go. It couldn't help with the first line but it helped source it from the second line.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
If you want to know what is offering with a New Zealand emphasis look at <a href="http://www.startpage.co.nz/www/index.htm" target="_blank">StartPage NZ</a> or give priority in your Google search to New Zealand sites or take a look at the sites already mentioned, <a href="http://www.nzs.com/business/computers/internet/search-engines" target="_blank"><span style="color: #5588aa; text-decoration: none;">NZ Search</span></a>, Phil Bradley's list of <a href="http://www.philb.com/cse/newzealand.htm" target="_blank"><span style="color: #5588aa; text-decoration: none;">51 New Zealand search engines</span></a> and <a href="http://www.searchenginecolossus.com/NewZealand.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #5588aa; text-decoration: none;">Search Engine Colossus</span></a> or use the <a href="http://www.engines2go.com/nz" target="_blank"><span style="color: #5588aa; text-decoration: none;">NZ Engines2Go</span></a> site.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Once you think you have a handle on searching the web its time to think of searching the invisible web, what is not available through ordinary search engines. Have a look at this <a href="http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/TeachingLib/Guides/Internet/InvisibleWeb.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #5588aa; text-decoration: none;">UC Berkeley page</span></a> to get to grips with databases the search engines don't reach and follow up this link to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_web" target="_blank"><span style="color: #5588aa; text-decoration: none;">Wikipedia</span></a> for more information.<br />
<br />
Good luck for successful searching.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">One thing is certain. If you have a computer at some stage you will lose something or everything on it. If it hasn’t happened to you yet, it almost certainly will, regardless of how computer savvy and careful you might be.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The loss can be caused by any one of a number of factors, a hardware failure, a software problem, a virus or other malware or by simple human error. Whatever the cause you will have lost something important to you unless you have protected it properly. If you haven’t protected yourself properly you are almost sure to regret it and the cost of trying to put it right can be far, far greater than the cost of protection. At the very least you must make sure that anything on your computer that is irreplaceable is protected against disaster.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">What follows is Microsoft Windows oriented but there are also references to Apple Mac. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>The 5 steps that you must follow to protect yourself properly.</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>STEP 1</b>. If you have a <b>notebook</b> <b>or netbook computer</b>, <b>you need a set of repair disks or USB drive made in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions </b>so you are able to restore the manufacturer’s essentials for your computer. Instructions about this will almost certainly have come with your new computer. I cannot give you any more help about this step except to emphasise that you need to know where these items are and to have them clearly identified.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>STEP </b></span><b>2</b>. For <b>every computer</b> you have, <b>you need a system repair or recovery disk or drive</b>, either an external hard drive or </span><span style="font-size: large;">USB drive, </span><span style="font-size: large;">for your operating system. You might have had instructions about this but if not look at your control panel for backup and restore or similar. For example, if you are installing Windows 10 you get to it through either searching for "recovery" or going to it through Control Panel and "Recovery". If you have an older Microsoft operating system and do not have a recovery disk or drive web search for "how to create a recovery disk or drive for [insert name of your operating system]" and you will get the answer either from Microsoft itself or an associated source. Here are links to the answers for <a href="http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/create-a-system-repair-disc" target="_blank">Windows 7</a> and <a href="http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/create-usb-recovery-drive" target="_blank">Windows 8/8.1</a>. For Apple Mac operating systems go to the links under that heading below. Make sure you clearly</span><span style="font-size: large;"> identify your disk or drive and know where it is.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>STEP </b></span><b>3</b>. </span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">For <b>every computer</b> <b>you</b></span><b> need regular System Restore points for your hard drive</b> so that at the very least there is a copy of your registry that you can return to if something goes haywire. Your operating system makes its own copies of the registry from time to time and, depending on your operating system, when you make important changes to it. System Restore is the means by which your registry and certain parts of your system can be restored to a previous state from a record on the hard drive. It will enable your computer to run as it did at the time of the earlier restore point. If new software or a download has caused some incompatibility leading to your computer crashing the use of an earlier restore point can save an enormous amount of time and effort. You can be up and running again in minutes instead of hours. However, <b>it does not save your personal files or material</b> and normally does not enable them to be recovered. In addition if your hard drive fails then System Restore is no more and cannot help you. For more on System Restore see below. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>STEP </b></span><b>4</b>. <b>You need a regular backup system in place so that if there is a disaster all your </b></span><span style="font-size: large;"><b>essential </b></span><span style="font-size: large;"><b>personal material can be recovered.</b> You don’t create a document without regularly saving it in case something goes wrong. Equally you must regularly save the content of your hard drive by a backup system so that it can be easily recovered if a disaster occurs.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>A backup can be an image of your hard disk or a copy of a file, folder or the content of your entire hard disk</b> saved in a location other than your main hard disk just in case any of the disasters mentioned happen to you.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">If your computer does crash irretrievably, with your hard drive or motherboard dead or the material on your hard drive totally corrupted by malware, much or all of your documents and folders and e-mails and favourites or bookmarks and other personal material are going to be lost if you do not have a backup that is accessible. Yes, you can restore your operating system and all your software from your support disks or the internet but everything that is personal to you is lost unless it is backed up somewhere beyond your main hard drive. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>The backup cannot be on your main hard drive.</b> It must be on a second hard drive, preferably an external hard drive, </span><span style="font-size: large;">a flash/USB/thumb drive,</span><span style="font-size: large;"> an internet backup system or even </span><span style="font-size: large;">DVDs or CDs if your computer still has such a drive</span><span style="font-size: large;">. And <b>to be safe</b> <b>you should have two backups of what is really important. </b> That’s because there’s no such thing as a completely safe backup. Any backup medium can fail. <b>Ideally you will have at least three copies of everything of value to you, namely, what's on your computer, what's on independent hardware in your home and what's on a cloud - internet - backup system or on independent hardware beyond your home.</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
<b>Step 5. Make sure you have followed steps 1, 2, 3 and 4!</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>I now enlarge on what you should do after you've completed steps 1, if necessary, and 2 - ie - system repair or recovery disks?</b> <br />
<br />
<b><i>STEP 3. Ensure you have System Restore Points.</i></b> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">Microsoft Windows operating systems:</span></span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Creating system restore points on any Microsoft Windows operating system is reasonably straightforward and it is good practice to ensure that it happens before you download new software or make any major changes on your computer. Fortunately even if you overlook doing that it is often not fatal as restore points are created on a fairly regular basis anyway by the better software downloads and by your operating system. The more recent your operating system and your software the more likely it is they will protect you with System Restore points when updating.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">There are various ways of accessing System Restore to create a restore point or restore your computer from an earlier restore point. One way common to some Microsoft operating systems, including <b>Windows XP</b> and in part <b>Vista</b>, is to go to Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore > Create a Restore Point. In <b>Vista</b> once you get to System Restore you have to left click on Open System Protection and left click on Create. Another way in <b>Windows XP</b> is to go to Control Panel and look for Performance and Maintenance and then System Restore. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In <b>Vista</b> and <b>Windows 7</b> you can left click on the start button in the bottom left corner of your screen, right click on Computer, left click on Properties, left click on System Protection and go to Create. It is slightly different in <b>Windows 8.1</b> and <b>Windows 10</b> in that you get to the essential page by searching for "restore" in the former and going to "create a restore point", while in the latter you search for "create a restore point". <b>Once you have System Restore open it is really just a matter of carefully following the instructions.</b> Although there are differences in how you get there the result is almost identical in all the recent Windows operating systems. </span><br />

</ul>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">If the worst comes to the worst you can use System Restore in Safe Mode, but I do not intend to develop that here as it is not something for the beginner.</span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Apple Mac operating systems:</span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">These do not have a System Restore capability. However, according to <a href="http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4718" target="_blank">Apple</a> the latest operating systems "OS </span><span style="font-size: large;">X Lion or OS X Mountain Lion include a feature called <a href="http://www.apple.com/nz/osx/recovery/" target="_blank">Recovery</a> that includes all the tools you need to install OS X, repair your disk and even restore from a Time Machine backup without the need for optical disks." The OS X Recovery and the associated Time Machine backup </span><span style="font-size: large;">are broadly comparable</span><span style="font-size: large;"> with the Windows 8 system, both Apple and Microsoft having each sought to introduce the better features of the competing system.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
<b><i>STEP 4 - Backing up your computer - general.</i></b> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It’s theoretically easy to back up a computer, with options ranging from making simple, manual drag-and-drop copies of important files, right up to disk images of the entire hard disk.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">However, for most of us it is not easy in practice as it requires us to think about it and to do something fairly regularly. <br />
<i><br />
<b>Let’s try and keep it simple -</b></i> <u><b>HAVE AN AUTOMATIC BACKUP SYSTEM</b></u>.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Your primary objective is to be able to recover your personal data so that you don't lose anything of importance to you. Whether we like it or not <b>the simplest ways</b> probably cost money. <b>You need an automatic backup system either on to an external hard drive or through the internet to an online cloud storage drive or, preferably, both.</b> If you want a different backup media you have to apply yourself to it in some other way. I deal with the different methods and media below.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>NECESSARY SOFTWARE:</b></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>Windows Operating Systems</i></b></span> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The easiest option is to use the backup system provided by Microsoft, particularly if you have Windows 7, Windows 8 or Windows 10 as they have the best backup systems yet provided by the much maligned manufacturer. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">In <b>Windows 7</b> you go to Control Panel, System and Maintenance and then Backup and Restore. [If in doubt you can use <a href="http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/back-up-files#1TC=windows-7" target="_blank">Microsoft's own tutorial</a> on it. Or you can use Fred Langa’s excellent advice in Windows Secrets under the heading “<a href="http://windowssecrets.com/top-story/build-a-complete-windows-7-safety-net/" target="_blank">Build a complete Windows 7 safety net</a>”. </span><span style="font-size: large;">Or you can see what <a href="http://www.pcworld.com/article/186997/windows_7s_builtin_backup.html" target="_blank">PC World</a> has said about it.] </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">If you are using <b>Windows 8 or 8.1</b> it works rather differently. You go to Control Panel, </span><span style="font-size: large;"> System and Security and File History. </span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">[If in doubt </span>Fred Langa in a later 10 July 2013 issue of <a href="https://windowssecrets.com/top-story/understanding-windows-8s-file-history/" target="_blank">Windows Secrets</a> newsletter gives you all you need to know about it. Others, such as as <a href="http://lifehacker.com/5958865/how-to-use-windows-8s-new-file-history-backup-aka-time-machine-for-windows" target="_blank">lifehacker</a>, <a href="http://thundercloud.net/infoave/new/this-cloudeight-web-site-pick-read-attention-grabbing-news-you-may-have-missed/" target="_blank">Cloudeight InfoAve</a>, <a href="http://winsupersite.com/article/windows8/windows-8-tip-picking-backup-strategy-144428" target="_blank">Paul Thurrott</a> and <a href="http://www.7tutorials.com/introducing-windows-8-how-backup-data-file-history" target="_blank">7Tutorials</a> </span><span style="font-size: large;">also have</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">useful material on it and on how to use it.]</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">If you are already using <b>Windows 10</b> you go to Settings, Update and Security and Backup or you can go to <a href="http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/getstarted-back-up-your-files" target="_blank">this Microsoft page</a> for help. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">If you are still using an <b>older version of Windows</b> don't fret. Just use the backup system provided. You can usually find it pretty easily under Control Panel, Backup and Restore, or under Programmes, Accessories, System Tools, Backup. Use the Wizard provided, making sure you select Backup and not Restore.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">(If you are a <b>Windows XP Home user</b> you will have to install the back up system manually from the Windows CD. Put it into the drive and double-click the CD icon in My Computer. When the Welcome to Microsoft Windows XP screen appears, click the Perform Additional Tasks link. Now click Browse this CD and use Windows Explorer to navigate down through the ValueAdd, Msft and Ntbackup folders in turn. Finally, double-click the ‘ntbackup.msi’ file and follow the prompts to install Windows Backup. Once this is done launch Windows Backup by clicking on Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools and Backup.)<br />
<br />
[The different Windows backup systems haven't been immune from criticism and you can if you wish use one of the free backup software packages that are available. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">One relatively simple way to go is to use one of the programmes that will synchronise the data you want to back up on your main drive and your back up drive. These include programmes such as <a href="http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/karens_replicator.html" target="_blank">Karen's Replicator</a>, which I use, <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=15155" target="_blank">Sync<span style="font-size: large;"> </span>Toy</a>, a Microsoft product, and </span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.2brightsparks.com/freeware/" target="_blank">SyncBack</a></span>. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Make sure the programme you are looking at is compatible with your operating system. <span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">There are also </span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">general back up </span></span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">programmes <span style="font-size: large;"></span></span>such as </span><span style="font-size: large;"> <a href="http://www.comodo.com/home/data-storage-encryption/comodo-backup.php" target="_blank">Comodo Backup</a>, <a href="http://www.gfi.com/backup-hm" target="_blank">GFI Backup</a></span><span style="font-size: large;">, </span><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://cobiansoft.com/cobianbackup.htm" target="_blank">Cobian Backup</a></span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">or <a href="http://www.filegee.net/" target="_blank">FileGee Personal Edition</a>. </span><br />

<b><i>Drive Imaging Software:</i></b></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The software mentioned thus far is not, for the most part, drive imaging software. What is the difference between file and folder copy backup systems and drive image backup systems? With </span><span style="font-size: large;">file and folder copy backup systems </span><span style="font-size: large;">you cannot restore the whole of a drive. You can only restore the content you have copied. With </span><span style="font-size: large;">drive image backup systems</span><span style="font-size: large;"> you can copy and restore the whole drive, warts and all as it was at the time of the back up.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">There are very real advantages in having both a drive image <b>and</b> a full backup of the material on the drive. It is much quicker to restore a whole drive from a drive image than to have to re-install an operating system and all essential software before restoring your own personal material. On the other hand the restoration of the whole drive might contain material that caused the drive to fail or it might be inconsistent with any new operating system you want to use. The built in systems in Windows 8, Windows 10 and the latest Apple OS X systems may or may not overcome those problems.<br />
<br />
<b>Windows 7, Windows 8 or 8.1 and Windows 10</b> all provide for creating a system or drive image and full backup software for the whole of your drive. In Windows 7 it is straightforward as you go to Control Panel, Backup and Restore and then System Image. In Windows 8 or 8.1 and </span><span style="font-size: large;">Windows 10 you have to go to Control Panel,
File History and the link in the bottom left hand corner to System Image
backup, which in fact takes you to a Windows 7 page for it, which is
slightly confusing.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> [For a tutorial on doing this in all of these versions of Windows see <a href="http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/4241/how-to-create-a-system-image-in-windows-7/" target="_blank">How-To Geek</a>, while this <a href="http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/create-system-image-in-windows-7-8/" target="_blank">Bleeping Computer</a> page deals with Windows 7 and Windows 8 or 8.1.

These are great for<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> automatic back ups<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">. Those that have their own power supply and are not dependent on their USB connection are <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">safer.</span></span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Well known external hard drive makes containing back up software include Seagate's Free Agent,</span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> Verbatim's Store 'n' Save</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> and Western Digital's My Book</span>. These all have the advantage they run off their own power supply independently of their USB connection to your computer but they do cost more. They are great for a permanent back up system constantly attached to your computer. The cost of an automatic backup system to</span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"> an external hard drive</span> is worth it for peace of mind if nothing else.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">If you want to know about this its best to look at excellent pieces by Fred Langa in Windows Secrets Newsletter, Issues 477, 16 April 2015, and 504, 5 November 2015, </span><span style="font-size: large;">on safely verifying backups — for any current Windows version, although that requires you to be a subscriber.

<b>ONLINE BACKUP SERVICES:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b> </b> <br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">An automatic back up system to an online backup service is, in many ways, the ultimate way of making sure your data stays safe.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Technically it’s much safer from hardware failure and corruption than your own external hard disk at home, and the fact that it’s stored geographically far away from your house in more than one location makes it immune to theft and flood or fire damage. Online backup can also be free or work out relatively cheaply if backing up a lot of material is of real importance to you.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Here's what Lincoln Spector of Windows Secrets says in </span><span style="font-size: large;">Windows Secrets Newsletter, Issue 392, 4 July 2013, and who am I to disagree with him?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">"Last but not least: Set up automatic backups</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><br />
<div style="margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px 0px 5px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">First rule
of computing: Back up your PC — and all other digital devices. Second
rule of computing: Most PC users rarely back up their systems — and if
they do, it's usually too late.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">... the backup process must be completely automatic.
And while you might back up your system to an external
hard drive, that's not the best practice for novice or casual PC users.
Why? If the drive is plugged in 24/7, a single disaster could destroy
both the original files and the backup. And if the backup depends on
plugging in the external drive on a daily basis, it simply won't happen.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">A
cloud-based backup service is safest for novice/casual users. These
services are slow (the first backup will take days; later ones will take
minutes or hours) and, in the long run, more expensive than an external
hard drive. But once set up, they work automatically — in the
background, without any effort on the user's part."</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Its worth pointing out that if you are concerned with security you can encrypt your work before saving it to the cloud: see the sites reviewed in <a href="http://www.techsupportalert.com/best-free-encryption-utility-for-cloud-storage" target="_blank">Gizmo's Freeware</a>. </span><span style="font-size: large;">As <a href="http://windowssecrets.com/top-story/mastering-windows-8s-backuprestore-system/" target="_blank">Fred Langa points out</a> "It’s always wise to encrypt your most sensitive
folders or files to prevent snoops from being able to access them —
especially if the data will be transmitted over the Internet or stored
in a cloud-based server. I use 7-Zip (free; <a href="http://www.7-zip.org/" target="_blank">site</a>)
to apply 256-AES encryption to sensitive files and folders stored in my
local OneDrive folder. The encrypted files are then automatically
replicated to the cloud and to my File History backups."</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">If you use more than one cloud site, as you can do, you might want to synchronise, which can be difficult: see <a href="http://www.alphr.com/dropbox/7041/how-to-transfer-and-sync-files-between-dropbox-onedrive-google-drive" target="_blank">alphr</a> for help.] </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>The most basic form of backup</i></b><b>: A Manual Backup</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Backing
up manually is the most basic method if you don’t use your computer
very often. However, it does require application and discipline. You
have to perform the backups regularly, preferably about once a week and
certainly not less than once a month.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">If
you just use your computer for visiting websites, sending and receiving
emails, and creating the occasional letter, spread sheet or newsletter,
for instance, then <b>making a regular copy of </b></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="auto-style7"><span class="auto-style7"><b>your User folder</b> </span></span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="auto-style7"><span class="auto-style7"><span style="font-size: large;">and any other essential data </span>from your
current version of Windows to an external hard drive or even a </span></span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="auto-style7"><span class="auto-style7"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">USB/</span></span>flash/thumb</span> </span>drive will pretty much do the trick. The User folder
is located at C:\Windows \ User \ Your
user name. Copy that entire folder to your external drive or </span></span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="auto-style7"><span class="auto-style7"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">USB/</span></span>flash/thumb drive </span></span>and you will have
all your personal files and folders handy if you should need them.</span></span>
My Documents folder (called ‘Documents’ in Vista) and a few other
things may well be enough. This option can be the cheapest if you can
just use a DVD although they are going out of fashion. Best, have it or
an occasional copy of it </span><span style="font-size: large;">beyond your house to avoid the risk of fire. </span><span style="font-size: large;"> Do not forget that even external hard drives are vulnerable to damage if dropped.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">You
can even use a second hard drive on your machine for backups, but it
won't be immune to malware or possible electrical damage in the same way
as something independent of your computer. CDs might be possible but
these days they are not very practical. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Remember to store any disc or drive in a case away from sunlight, direct heat and moisture.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">A
more limited manual backup involves copies of your documents, pictures
and other personal data, including address books, e-mails, favourites
or bookmarks and your essential settings and profiles. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
To back up just your documents manually there are three simple ways. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; margin-left: 36pt; text-indent: -18pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">·<span style="-moz-font-feature-settings: normal; -moz-font-language-override: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: large;">You can right click on your My Documents folder and then left click on where you wish to send it to.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; margin-left: 36pt; text-indent: -18pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">·<span style="-moz-font-feature-settings: normal; -moz-font-language-override: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: large;">You can simply drag and drop everything in your documents folder to the backup drive you want to use. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; margin-left: 36pt; text-indent: -18pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;">·<span style="-moz-font-feature-settings: normal; -moz-font-language-override: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: large;">You
can right click on your My Documents folder select Copy and then go to
where you intend to save the copy and right click and select Paste.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; margin-left: 36pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Don't
forget to look in other folders like your My Music, My Pictures or My
Videos for other personal material you might want to backup and follow
the same method. And </span><span style="font-size: large;">if other family members use the PC with a separate user account, remember to back up their My Documents folders too.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">A
most important thing is to make backup copies of anything that you
couldn’t do without as soon as possible after they arrive on your PC.
So, for example, if you transfer a fresh batch of photos from your
digital camera to your computer, try to make sure that these get backed
up before you wipe the originals off your camera’s memory card. The
same goes for music you have purchased and downloaded from online music
stores.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">If
you have large folders such as video film you don't have to copy the
lot over every time if you manage your folders in a different way, e.g.,
having one folder for backed up film and another for new film. Then
once the new film is backed up it can be moved to the backed up folder
on your main drive so that effectively you are just backing up the new
increments in large folders.<br />
<br />
You also need to make sure your address books and e-mails are saved.
Your address books should be in an Address Book folder in your Documents
Folder. They are in most recent versions of Windows. However, not all
will be automatically saved if they are in a file format inconsistent
with where they are to be saved. For example, OneDrive cloud storage
will not save .csv files even if you have saved them into Excel. Your
e-mails are also a different matter as they are not saved in your
Documents Folder. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">

<b>You need help as to how to backup</b><b>?</b> <br />
<br />
I've already mentioned various tutorials and most operating systems have their own guides under Help. Most third party software has its own help guide. Tutorials for some backup software, including Microsoft's, for the main Windows operating systems can be found at <a href="http://www.top-windows-tutorials.com/Backup-tutorial.html" target="_blank">Top-Windows-Tutorial.com</a>. If in doubt Google for help for backing up your particular computer model or operating system.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>Some notes about the different kinds of backups</i></b></span><span style="font-size: large;">: <br />
<br />
There are three common forms of backup - full, incremental and differential. Full is self-explanatory. Incremental saves the differences in data between the last backup, be it incremental or full, and the new one. Differential backups save any files that have changed since the last full backup. Hence incremental backups are faster than differential ones, while full backups are the slowest. However, should you have to restore from a backup then the speed factor more or less reverses, and an incremental backup can be the slowest to restore, even although some programmes like <a href="http://www.acronis.com/resource/solutions/backup/2005/incremental-backups.html" target="_blank">Acronis</a> claim they use "special snapshot technology to rebuild the full image quickly for restoration" to make incremental backups more practical. There are advocates for each different kind of backup. <br />
<br />
<b>Some other views on backing up</b>: <br />
<br />
If you want to look at a range of other views on backing up try one or more of these sites: <a href="http://www.wikihow.com/Back-up-a-Computer" target="_blank">WikiHow</a> or <a href="http://pcbackupreview.com/" target="_blank">PCBackupReview.com</a>. For an encyclopaedic 2007 view covering every aspect authoritatively for that time, and incidentally showing just how complicated it can be, see <a href="http://www.michaelhorowitz.com/backupclass.html" target="_blank">Michael Horowitz's class notes</a>.<br />
<br />
<b>Are you still puzzled?</b><br />
<br />Keep it simple as otherwise you won't do it. It becomes too much of a hassle. At the very least make sure you have what is important to you saved somewhere else, with at least one copy off your computer. Doing it manually is fine so long as you remember to deal with your e-mails as well. Using what Microsoft or Apple have provided in their later operating systems is fine. Otherwise why not look at cloud storage or an external hard drive with in-built backup software. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
If you are lost I repeat the advice to use Google or another search bar "how to backup your computer" and add if you wish what you want advice about, e.g., a particular operating system like Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7, 8, or 10 or your Apple Mac system, a particular backup system or medium, or whatever. For example, one of us wanted to know about the Western Digital Passport External Drive system so search for "Western Digital Passport External Drive backup system" or something similar until you get a reference that seems to address your interest. WesternDigital, like other suppliers, has its own pages on its products that you can consult. <a href="http://www.wdc.com/en/" target="_blank">Here</a> is the WD link. Other external hard drive suppliers include Verbatim, Seagate, Iomega, Transcend, Samsung and La Cie.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Step 4 - Backing Up</b></span><span style="font-size: large;">:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>1.</b> <b>Use the </b></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>automatic backup system in your version of Windows or Apple and an external hard
drive or an online cloud storage drive or,
preferably, both.</b></span> </span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">2. Use another form of automatic sychronisation or back up software so that it happens regularly.</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">3. If you can discipline yourself, manually back up your User Documents folder or your documents and other personal materials like Pictures and send them to another drive or drives, with at least one being off your computer, regularly. Ensure you backup your address books, if they aren't in your Documents Folder. </span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>4. Backup your e-mails</b> by following one of the ways already mentioned:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For Outlook Express go to Microsoft Outlook Express e-mails. If you are using Microsoft Outlook go to the File Menu and Backup and select your backup destination. Mozilla programmes such as Firefox and Thunderbird are best dealt with by MozBackup.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">5. By all means have your own copy documents and essential data AND use a backup programme AND use a drive image backup programme AND back up to the Cloud as well. But whatever you do ensure you have secure copies of what is essential to you. You might find an image backup useful in some circumstances but it might not save you. If you have your essential data copied and saved somewhere else, preferably in two different locations, you should be safe whatever happens. As has been said "every storage medium and device will fail, the only question being 'When?' "</span></div>

Should you be unfortunate enough to have to use a backup to restore data have a look at Fred Langa's <a href="http://windowssecrets.com/newsletter/recovery-the-last-step-in-total-data-security/" target="_blank">How to Recover Data from Your Backups</a> in Windows Secrets.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">7. If the worst comes to the worst and you have to re-install your operating system remember the advantages are that you will</span><span style="font-size: large;"> be able to get rid of almost any problem that isn’t hardware related, such as deeply embedded malware, and of the accumulated garbage on your machine. How to do a Custom re-install depends a bit upon your operating system: for Windows 7 have a look at this <a href="http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Installing-and-reinstalling-Windows-7#" target="_blank">Microsoft page</a>, or for Windows 8 this <a href="http://windows.microsoft.com/en-nz/windows-8/clean-install" target="_blank">Microsoft page</a>. <a href="http://www.extremetech.com/computing/134611-how-to-reinstall-windows-8-without-losing-your-files-and-programs" target="_blank">ExtremeTech</a> has a page on how to reinstall Windows 8 without losing your files and programs. Better still for Windows 8 there is a possibility you can repair the problem by using Automatic Repair, explained by <a href="http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/http-wwwbleepingcomputercom-tutorials-automatically-repair-windows-8-with-automatic-repair-/" target="_blank">Bleeping Computer</a>. For Windows 10 the options are even further improved: look at this <a href="http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/windows-10-recovery-options" target="_blank">Microsoft page</a> and the reset option. I have already touched upon the Apple Mac equivalent above.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Personal comment</b>:<br />
<br />
Most advice on this topic suggests you need a sophisticated third party backup system, at a price. I've gone along with this for years and have invested in different state of the art backup systems including Norton Ghost, Acronis True Image, Genie-soft's and Nero's programmes and a number of others. When the crunch has come I have not used any of those aids. I've done a clean re-install of my operating system, as if you've lost everything why would you want to restore the detritus built into the image backup of your hard drive? Then I've reinstalled my software and finally I have pasted in copies of all my files and folders and personal data including e-mails and favourites or bookmarks. On various computers using various operating systems, all of which have had to be re-installed in one way or another at some time, I have never had resort to a software backup system except MozBackup for my Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird profiles and data. And it has worked as I have never lost anything of note. </span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">Although I still have a very recent Acronis programme I don't intend using it again.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span>
<br />
A year or two ago when my system failed totally I moved from Windows XP to Windows 7. My Acronis True Image backups were of no use whatever in respect of an image of my XP set-up and while the file backups might have been usable it was a long way around when I could simply paste in the copies of my files and folders from my external hard drive and use my download disks and files to restore my essential software. More recently I accidentally removed my email programme when updating to Windows 10. I had backed it up prior to the update with MozBackup so nothing was lost.<br /> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">For my automatic back ups I have a WD My Book constantly attached to my computer using both the Windows and WD backup software and Karen's Replicator. I also use One Drive </span><span style="font-size: large;">for my documents and pictures</span><span style="font-size: large;">. On the same external drive I have reasonably frequent manual backups of my email profile through MozBackup and copies of my User folder. On another external hard drive I have complete backups, including my email profile, and copies of my User folder and other essential information. I also have a copy of all my essential documents and pictures, my email profile and some other essential information on a 32GB flash drive. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-NZ;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Here are some simple ideas for getting the best out of your computer inks.</span></div><ul style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" type="disc"><li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;">Use the On/Off switch on the front of your printer and keep it off unless you are using it. Not only is the power cost less but the ink is less likely to dry out. However, do not turn the power to your printer off as that will result in it going through a cleaning exercise every time it is turned on, which increases power and ink costs. </span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;">Unless you really want colour and good quality prints for some reason set your printer to default print in black and printing draft quality instead of high quality. Black ink is usually cheaper and draft quality uses only about half the ink. </span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;">To achieve these two things you have to go into your printer settings to change the default settings as otherwise you have to do it every time you print. Go to (Windows) >Start >Printers, right-click on your printer and select >printer settings. Now the exact options you’ll see here depend on your printer.<span> </span>You’ll have to figure out the details yourself.<span> </span>I’ll use the usual settings for an HP printer as an example.<span> </span><span> </span>In the Printer Settings box click on Printer Settings. There are two changes to make. First, click on the Paper/Quality tab. On the right hand side under Print Quality open the selection menu and click on Fast Draft. <span> </span>[On some printers it will be Draft you are aiming for and in others you change the graphic resolution. This option is usually found under >advanced settings. <span> </span>300 dpi (dots per inch) are usually sufficient for most purposes.] <span> </span>Secondly, click on the Colour tab. Under Colour Options click on Greyscale and Black Only. [Whatever your printer those are the choices you want to aim for.]<span> </span>Click on OK and you're done. The quality isn't quite as good but it’s not only acceptable but much faster in printing. </span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;">If you want a first class print job you don't have to reverse the default settings. Instead when you come to the document or photo you want a colour/first class print from just change the settings for that print job. To do that when you click on print and the selection panel appears click on Properties next to the name of your printer. Then you’ll again have to figure out the details for yourself.<span> </span>For an HP printer click on the Paper/Quality tab. On the right hand side under Print Quality open the selection menu and click on Automatic. Then click on the Colour tab. Under Colour Options deselect Greyscale and click on High Quality. Click on OK and you're done. <span> </span></span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;">There are other changes you might be able to make to your default settings. <span> </span>You may be able to print several pages on a single piece of paper or you may be able to print on both sides of a page. <span> </span>Both options can save a lot of ink and even paper. <span> </span>You can reverse any such changes for any particular print job using the Printer’s Properties as mentioned above.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;">Please remember that if you change your default settings, every print job will be printed that way unless you undo it under your Printer Properties for a particular print job.<span> </span>If you don’t want that hassle do not change your printer’s default settings.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;">If you want to print just a portion of a page, only print a portion of the page. Highlight what you wish to print and then on the print selection panel under Page Range click on Selection. Similarly if you only want one or several page(s) out of a range use the choices available in the Page Range.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;">Sometimes it pays to copy your selection and paste it into a Word document and get rid of bold type headings and the like and even select a font that uses less ink like Arial Narrow, Century Gothic, Garamond or Courier. Each of those has ranked first in various tests that haven't included the others! </span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;">Use the print preview function that lets you see just what you are going to be printing before you print it. </span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;">Ignore any irritating messages about the ink level or expiry dates for your inks until they show empty but make sure you have a replacement ink on hand.</span></li>
</ul>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5991687942022858482.post-67915659769086387662010-05-26T11:33:00.000+12:002014-06-20T17:18:17.796+12:00Google Maps and Google Earth - Quick Help Links<span style="font-size: large;">This is a very brief note on the easiest methods of accessing the principal Google Help sites for Google Maps and Google Earth as there is simply too much relevant material for them to be fully explained in an hour or so. Don't be put off by the the fact that there seems to be so much material on the Google sites. It is intimidating but it tends to include a lot of repetition. It is usually, but not always, logically set out. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://support.google.com/maps/?hl=en#" target="_blank">Google Maps Help Center</a> - this site not only has links to all the more specialised sites you are likely to want or need but also to the Help Forum and much else. However, at the present time - June 2014 - Google Maps are in a state of transition. There are "Classic Maps", which many of you will be familiar with, and "new Maps", which some of you might have already. To make matters even more complicated "new Maps" are not yet universally available in their final form and may only be available to you in a "Lite Edition". [</span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">In my household, with two computers meeting Google's requirements for the "new Maps" full edition, one can access it but the other can only access the Lite Edition".] </span>In particular in Lite Edition there is no way you can go directly from Google Maps to Google Earth as you could do previously in Classic Maps and as you can do in the full version of "new Maps". Unless I am missing something Google in its usual arrogant way is quite unhelpful in indicating a timeline for changes or even a helpful page as to the various editions of its Maps and Earth. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Maps" target="_blank">Wikipedia</a> does its best to remedy the latter omission but realises its page is incomplete and possibly inaccurate.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">To start using Google Maps first open a Google search page by entering "google.co.nz" in the address bar. Then go to and click on the Apps Icon, a square of 9 dots in the top right hand corner, and then click on <a href="http://maps.google.co.nz/maps?mid=1250320184" target="_blank">Maps</a>. That will take you to either "Classic" or "new" Maps. If you are in "Classic" there is a link to "Help" on the lower left of the page and if you are in "New" there is a link to "Help" through the Question Mark on the lower right of the page. Either link takes you to the <a href="https://support.google.com/maps/?hl=en-NZ#topic=3092425" target="_blank">Google Maps Help Center</a>, which is the principal site to assist users. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">You can use Google Maps without a Google account. However, to create and save your own maps you have to have your own Google account. It is simplest to follow the instructions from the Help pages. Or you can start by opening <a href="http://maps.google.co.nz/" target="_blank">Google Maps.</a> Please remember that any map you create will be in the public arena unless you ensure it is unlisted. There is also <a href="http://www.google.com/earth/outreach/tutorials/index.html#create-a-map-with-custom-maps&tab=create-a-map-with-custom-maps" target="_blank">a tutorial on creating a map with Custom Maps</a> in <a href="http://www.google.com/earth/outreach/tutorials/index.html" target="_blank">Google Earth Outreach</a>. There are also numerous independent pages on using Google Maps, and Earth. Here are three dealing with Maps, a Wall Street Journal piece on the <a href="http://blogs.wsj.com/digits/2014/02/21/google-maps-gets-massive-update-five-features-to-know-about/" target="_blank">recent changes</a> to Google Maps and two Make Use Of pages dealing with <a href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/get-creative-and-make-your-own-maps-with-custom-layers-on-the-new-google-maps/" target="_blank">creating new maps</a> and how to use Maps for <a href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/be-your-own-travel-guide-7-tips-to-travel-smarter-with-google-maps/" target="_blank">better planning of your trips</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://earth.google.com/userguide/v5/" target="_blank">Google Earth Help Center</a> - this is the principal site to assist users with links to many more specialised sites. To access Google Earth you must download the Google Earth software programme. This can be done through the Google Earth Help Center page or from the <a href="http://earth.google.com/" target="_blank">Google Earth home page</a>. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Once you have Google Earth installed you can either work through the </span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">Google Earth Help Center page or</span> go to the <a href="http://support.google.com/earth/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=176576" target="_blank">Google Earth Tutorials site</a> from the Learn the Basics page on the Help Center page but that will be a matter of personal preference. You can also access the material on the <a href="http://www.google.com/intl/en/earth/outreach/tutorials/index.html" target="_blank">Google Earth Outreach page</a>, already mentioned.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">While the various help videos can be accessed through the different help sites, e.g., <a href="http://support.google.com/earth/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=176576" target="_blank">Google Earth Tutorials</a> or the </span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.google.com/intl/en/earth/outreach/tutorials/index.html" target="_blank">Google Earth Outreach page</a> already mentioned </span>or <a href="http://earth.google.com/tour.html" target="_blank">Google Earth Showcase</a>, you can also access some through <a href="http://www.youtube.com/GoogleEarthVideoHelp" target="_blank">Google Earth Video Help</a> in YouTube. It is easy to access the individual videos that interest you.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">For those of you interested in the ocean depths go to the tips in <a href="https://support.google.com/earth/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=148186&topic=2376154&ctx=topic" target="_blank">Navigating in Google Earth</a>, but you will need to access some of the underwater videos for the best images.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">For all those interested in an opportunity to try flying on your own computer there is the Flight Simulator entered through Tools – Enter Flight Simulator although its best to first read the <a href="http://earth.google.com/userguide/v5/ug_flightsim.html" target="_blank">tips on using the flight simulator</a> help page. As they are brief and inadequate you might also like to look at two overlapping blog pages about the tool if you really want to play with it,</span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"> <a href="http://www.gearthblog.com/blog/archives/2012/07/google_earth_a_to_z_flight_simulato.html" target="_blank">Google Earth A to Z: Flight Simulator</a> and</span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"> <a href="http://www.gearthblog.com/blog/archives/2007/09/google_earth_flight.html" target="_blank">Google Earth Flight Simulator Tips</a></span>.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Those of you who enjoy a challenge might want to first work your way through <span style="font-size: large;">the <a href="https://support.google.com/earth/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=148176&topic=2376018&parent=2376017&rd=1" target="_blank">B<span style="font-size: large;">asic Features User Guide</span></a></span><span style="font-size: large;"> and then through the individual elements at the foot of that page<a href="https://support.google.com/earth/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=148142&topic=2376990&parent=2376989&rd=1" target="_blank"></a>.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><i>[Last edited 20 June 2014]</i></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5991687942022858482.post-87445288613073207192009-08-30T10:25:00.002+12:002009-09-03T19:20:13.102+12:00Lost Your Blog?<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: red;">You had a Blog?</span> I'd been happily running a blog for quite some time, creating it with a Blogger account. I had a Google acount, an IGoogle page and a GMail address. All was well until I decided to help a friend set up a GMail account. I thought I'd better set up a new one for myself to make sure I gave accurate advice. I did that and then I wanted to delete the new GMail address. I found I could only do that by deleting my Google account. That's not a problem I thought. I've only got it for IGoogle. My Blog is separate from that and it shouldn't affect my other GMail address. I was, of course, asked whether I really meant to delete my Google account but there was no mention of Blogger so why not. So I did delete my Google account and then found my Blog had gone and that it could not be recovered. What a trap for the young, or not so young in my case, players! The irony was that I had soon re-created a new Google account in the same name and with the same password as before without any difficulty and still had my GMail address and easily re-created my IGoogle page</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: red;">Your Blog has been removed?</span> After fruitless hours of searching it was clear that although my Blog page still existed in Google's resources I wasn't going to be given it back. My Blog had been removed and I wasn't allowed to use my address again. Most frustrating of all was the run around all the Google so-called help pages gave. There was no way you could ask a question of a real person and get a simple response. Reasons given for not enabling the re-creation of one's old account and Blog were pretty feeble.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: red;">What to do?</span> Well a number of sites recommended the pretty obvious solution of creating a new Blog page as close to the old as possible and that was simple enough. But how could I recover the material on which people who had attended workshops given by me recently might be relying? </span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: red;">How to recover your material?</span> At last I found that I could recover almost all of the material from Google caches by using two methods. The simplest, explained in different blogs of which the <a href="http://www.blogdoctor.me/2008/06/how-to-recover-deleted-blogs.html">Blog Doctor</a> is the easiest to read, merely requires a search through the Google search page for "</span><span style="font-size: large;">cache:[your old Blog address]". You can then copy and save the content of your old blog, although the cache is unlikely to be up-to-date. The alternative method, which might get you a later copy of some or all of the material is to Google search for all the old Blog address[es] you have and open the cached material. You could have a separate address for each post and I recovered a more up-to-date version of one or two posts using this alternative.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: red;">What next?</span> What to do when you have recovered as much of the material of your old Blog as you can in to Word or Notepad or wherever? Two sites are both helpful about this, <a href="http://www.ehow.com/how_5226330_copy-paste-word-blogger-tags.html">EHow</a> and <a href="http://tips.blogdoctor.me/2009/01/copy-paste-from-microsoft-word-gives.html">Tips for Bloggers</a>. Even before I got on to them I had re-created most of my original blog by similar copy and paste methods.</span> </div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: red;">How to avoid a repetition?</span> Don't delete your Google account is pretty obvious, but it is equally sensible to protect yourself through two recognised techniques, saving a copy of your template and exporting a copy of your blog from which it can later be restored if need be. The first of these requires you to go to Dashboard, Layout, Edit HTML and Download Full Template and then saving it to a folder of your choice. The second of these is well explained in <a href="http://www.bloggertipsandtricks.com/2009/08/how-backup-and-restore-blog.html">Blogger Tips and Tricks</a>. Ideally you would be wise to do both of these every time you update your blog.</span><br />

They result from my building a computer in New Zealand in the first half of September 2006.]</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">We all have a fair idea of what a desktop computer is.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">There is the metal box [the case] that holds the works. On its front there is a power button to turn it on and sometimes a reset button to close and restart it. And there is usually a slide out thingummy operated by another button that takes a CD or maybe a DVD [the optical drive] and a slot of some sort where we can put a floppy disk [the floppy disk drive].</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">On the back of the case there are lots of sockets and plugs starting with the power plug and switch. Other sockets, some of which may be duplicated on the front of the case, take a variety of cables. There are Ethernet sockets for cables for joining us to the internet or perhaps a LAN [Local Area Network]. There are USB sockets for cables for connections to a whole range of things, including flash drives for storing things. [USB is short for ‘universal serial bus’, not that that makes anything clearer.] There may be a firewire socket for cables connecting us to things like video cameras. And then there are pinned sockets and cables maybe linking us to our printer and our scanner, if we have one, and our screen [the monitor] and usually our keyboard and mouse, although sometimes some of these things run off USB connections. Then there is another sort of plug connecting us to loudspeakers and microphones of some sort or another.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Inside the case are the things that make it all work. The absolute essentials are the CPU [the central processing unit that is the brains of the whole affair and usually has a heat sink and fan to enable it to be cool enough to work], the motherboard festooned with chips and bits that drive most of the things we use, the power supply unit [PSU], a hard drive that holds all our data, memory cards to deal with the data when it is first entered into the computer, a video card to handle what goes to our monitor, perhaps a modem to connect you to your internet server provider, and the optical and floppy disk drives. There is also a mass of cables and ties and mini-sockets and plugs and usually a case fan to try and keep the whole enclosure at a reasonable temperature.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">All of these things, collectively called ‘the hardware’, support or are driven by an operating system, for most of us one form or other of Microsoft Windows. And then there is all the software, called ‘applications’, that makes things work or enables us to do other things with our computer.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">If you’ve heard of most or all of the things I’ve mentioned you can probably build your own computer if you really want to do so. First though it pays to think whether an upgrade of various components might do the trick for you. I looked at various articles and decided that was not the answer for me. There is, incidentally, an article in NZ PC World, November 2006, p61, similar to other articles elsewhere, which would help you make that assessment and give you an idea what is involved in installing various parts of your computer.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Why build a new computer? There are lots of reasons including updating essential components, getting to know what makes your computer tick and understanding it better, having what you want and not what someone else has put in the case, having a quieter machine, or having a new challenge.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">In my case it was a combination of those. My computer experience dates back to the late 1980’s. For about 16 years I used desktop and laptop computers for my work. Over about the last 12 years I have had three personal desktop computers, the first off the floor from a now defunct New Zealand manufacturer and the latter two built by a friend. There is certainly nothing wrong with the last of these</span><span style="font-size: large;"> as I am still using it</span><span style="font-size: large;">, although it is now running Windows 7 RC1, .</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I thought it would be a good idea to be familiar with the newer 64 bit system, which seems likely to replace the 32 bit system that runs most of our current operating systems and programmes. The new generation CPU’s from AMD and Intel, who between them control the market, seemed to be galloping in the </span><span style="font-size: large;">64 bit </span><span style="font-size: large;">direction, Microsoft’s later operating systems, Vista and Windows 7, are providing for either 32 or 64 bits and all Apple MAcs are now 64 bits. Don’t ask me to explain exactly what 64 bits means but it affects the code the programmes are written in. Sixty four bits systems process bigger chunks of material and make better use of RAM [random access memory]. Thus 64 bit systems are faster and more stable and what everyone is likely to be using before too long. I wanted a quieter set up than I had as my attempts to make my old computer quieter had only been partially successful. I wanted to understand more about computers and have a new challenge.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Well, what do you do if you do want to build a new computer? I went to the internet and searched high and low, using ‘build computer’ and similar words in Google and other search engines, bought a booklet called PC Upgrade Guide, 2nd Edition, and combed the computer magazines I look at like NZ PC World and the Australian PC User and PC Authority. I looked in the library and book shops to no good effect.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">You first need to sort out what you want from your computer. Is it just for basics, or do you want to use it for more complicated things or do you want to play electronic games on it? My objective was to have a mid-range computer with the capacity, with some add-ons, for me to play with old photographs, edit videos and use voice recognition software.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Then you have to choose the components you need to achieve your objective. The CPU is the key to everything else. That is because everything else has to be compatible with it, whether it be the power source, the motherboard or whatever. You really have a choice just between AMD and Intel. My choice, because of what was offering at the time, was an AMD Athlon AM2 CPU. To-day, three years later, your choice depending on your needs and priorities is still between AMD and Intel. I wanted other components to be of good but not top of the range quality.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Here is the list of components I worked from:</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">• Case, including PSU and case fan, although you can get them separately.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">• CPU, including CPU cooling, which you can get separately.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">• Motherboard, including various cards and adapters than can be separate.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">• Hard Drive</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">• Memory Modules</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">• Graphics/Video Card</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">• Optical/CD-ROM Drive</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">• Floppy Disk Drive</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">• Operating system</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">• Monitor</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">• Keyboard & Mouse</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">• Speakers</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">• Modem.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">As I wanted a quiet PC I also researched that side of things carefully and chose components including the case, PSU, CPU, hard drive and video card that scored well for quietness.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">In choosing components I found articles and reviews in the Australian PC magazines already mentioned, particularly PC Authority, combined with web reviews of components on sites such as ConsumerReview.Com the most helpful. After I had my list I took the precaution of having it checked for component compatibility.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">You can buy your chosen components in all sorts of ways. Once I had my list I looked for a local supplier who could supply everything I wanted and got everything from that one company. That had the advantage its technical adviser also checked my chosen items for compatibility.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">When it came to building the computer there was no really good information available. Just by chance NZ PC World, September 2006, p82, had quite a good article on building a new computer. However, like nearly everything I read, it is a bit once over lightly as it assumes knowledge novices just don’t have. However, at the end of the day, that article, one or two articles found on the web, with some excellent material on the AMD Athlon site, combined with some notes of a friend and the material that came with the components, usually for the initiated and not the new chum, were what I relied upon. Most of the material on the web was very out of date. For example, some articles say you need a huge array of tools. I found that apart from an anti-static wrist band all I really needed was one non-magnetic Phillips screw driver. [The article in NZ PC World, November 2006, p61, on upgrading your computer has a reasonably clear guide to installing most of the essential components.]</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">In a way putting the hardware together was the easy part. I made one minor mistake as a result of unfamiliarity with the input/output fitting plate that goes into the back of the case to take the plugs of the motherboard but otherwise there were no insurmountable difficulties. I did have some difficulty in reading various instructions and names on parts. Even although I had done it once before, I found the placing of the CPU on the motherboard, the most important thing of all, a difficult business. However, it took me just a day and a half to assemble everything and get it going properly.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">What I had been far more casual about was checking the compatibility of my printer, keyboard, mouse and essential software, particularly security software, with a 64 bit system as opposed to my old 32 bit system and I got some unpleasant surprises.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">My HP printer was incompatible with the 64 bit system but fortunately software making it 64 bit compatible was available for download. My Logitech keyboard and mouse software was incompatible, although they work in the standard basic way. Programmes such as Acronis True Image, which I use for back-ups as well as drive imaging, are compatible. However, Bart's PE Builder is incompatible as was my previous Genie back-up programme.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">None of my security software was 64 bit compatible but much is now - September 2009.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Fortunately, most things one commonly uses and needs are compatible with the 64 bit system as for the most part it enables the use of 32 bit software.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Nevertheless if I’d read what appeared in PC Authority, October 2006, p22 or had read more carefully what one or two other reviewers on the web had said I think I would have stuck to a 32 bit version of Windows. If I was starting again to-day I probably would be in two minds. There still seems to be a lack of drivers for the 64 bit system and some software as well as hardware is incompatible with it. However, I suspect that with Vista and soon Windows 7 providing both 32 and 64 bit alternatives things will continue to change as a number of providers both of freeware and commercial products do have changes on hand. Significantly there are no problems with freeware such as Mozilla Thunderbird and Firefox or Open Office or with “essential” software such as Microsoft Office 2003 or 2007. There can be no doubt 64 bit represents the future and 32 bit the past. <br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I found only a few web sites that were of any particular help for 64 bit matters. There are now many more.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">My two worst problems, which caused me no end of frustration, had nothing directly to do with building a computer and so are really outside the scope of this note. Windows kept on opening in the Administrator's screen and not my own. No web search gave me even a clue on that one. Indeed I was led down some very useless paths. I at last discovered that I had accidentally cleared a box in the Logon menu in TweekUI, for which there is a 64 bit version available through Neo Smart Technologies, and when I ticked it all was well. The second thing was scarier as I found myself with a totally blank screen and the computer wouldn’t even fire up into boot mode. I’m still not sure what went wrong, but think it was possibly a loose connection in the case as I eventually fixed whatever it was and have had no trouble with my basic set up since.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Would I do it again? Yes, with less anxiety than the first time. Was it worth it? I think so. I have a very quiet computer that seems fast and robust. I know precisely what is in it and I have the satisfaction of knowing I built it.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Addendum: I prepared the bulk of the above notes in September and October 2006. I have now been running my 64 bit set up for about three years. There have been some difficulties unconnected with my build that would not have arisen if I had used a 32 bit version of Windows XP Pro or, more recently, of Windows Vista. Whether there will be the same difficulties with Windows 7 only time will tell.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />

A Google search for "show user picture on start menu" gets the widest range of answers. Surprisingly none of them mention one of the simplest answers of all as I found after hours of search and experiment. The answer lay in ensuring you had activated "Use visual styles on windows and buttons" in System Properties. To check that you have it activated right click on Computer. When the System Properties pane opens left click on the advanced tab and then under "Performance" on the "Settings" box. When the "Performance Options' pane opens left click on the "Visual Effects" tab. If the "Custom" settings have been chosen scroll to the last item in the list and ensure you have clicked on "Use visual styles on windows and buttons" so that it is activated. Your chosen picture in the User Accounts section of the Control Panel will then be shown at the top of the start menu pane.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">A different method of getting the same result but losing the benefits of your other custom settings is to go to Desktop Properties and under the appearance tab choose Windows XP style in the "windows and buttons" box.</span></div><span style="font-size: large;"><br />

</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Anti-spyware falls into two broad categories; programmes to prevent the installation of spyware and programmes to identify it and remove it. Some anti-spyware programmes do both.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">There is general agreement you should have at least two anti-spyware programmes. There is an excellent overview, which also mentions good anti-spyware programmes, at <a href="http://www.firewallguide.com/spyware.htm"><span style="color: #5588aa; text-decoration: none;">Anti-spyware Guide</span></a>.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The following is from a more detailed overview of available anti-spyware software in March 2009 by <a href="http://tinyurl.com/22eymg"><span style="color: #5588aa; text-decoration: none;">Consumer Search</span></a>. However, there are tests noted in the materials mentioned in this post showing some different results.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">“</span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">According to reviewers, </span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><a class="bubbleInfo product product-165521 for-product-165521" href="http://www.consumersearch.com/anti-spyware-reviews/webroot-spy-sweeper-60" rev="#for-product-165521">Webroot Spy Sweeper</a> (*Est. US$25)</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> and </span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><a class="bubbleInfo product product-165505 for-product-165505" href="http://www.consumersearch.com/anti-spyware-reviews/pc-tools-spyware-doctor-60" rev="#for-product-165505">PC Tools Spyware Doctor</a> (*Est. US$30)</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> are the most effective commercial anti-spyware programs. Software developers constantly tweak these programs and issue incremental updates. In some cases, the update enables one program to leapfrog a competitor in spyware detection and removal ability. The downside is that updates are sometimes rushed to market, and often introduce system and software conflicts that didn't exist with the previous version. Recent user reviews are the best gauge of such problems.</span>”</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">For tools designed to prevent the installation of spyware you will almost certainly have Windows Defender, installed with Windows XP and Vista. CNet recently ranked it the best of the freeware programmes. You may have a Security Suite that tackles spyware although none of them are as good as a specialist programme. There are two other free programmes with a good name. Consider <a href="http://tinyurl.com/2l6ev2"><span style="color: #5588aa; text-decoration: none;">Comodo BOClean</span></a> or <a href="http://tinyurl.com/g1d9"><span style="color: #5588aa; text-decoration: none;">Spyware Blaster</span></a>. Both are reasonably easy to use.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Two of the best tools for preventing as well as identifying and removing spyware have already been identified as PC Tools Spyware Doctor, especially for Vista, and Webroot SpySweeper. Neither is free although a starter edition of the former is free in <a href="http://tinyurl.com/2e6p49"><span style="color: #5588aa; text-decoration: none;">Google Pack</span></a>. Sunbelt CounterSpy 2.0 has been placed first by CNet and PCWorld and second by TopTen Reviews in recent reviews and is well worthy of consideration as it is cheaper than the other two.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">There seems to be less confidence in the popular free programmes Lavasoft AdAware and SpyBot Search and Destroy, which also has some active protection available in it. They are undoubtedly better than nothing. AdAware is probably the easier to use. The latest versions, AdAware 2008 and SpyBot Search and Destroy 1.6, seems an improvement on recent editions although I have seen no objective test results of them. SUPERAntiSpyware comes with both a free and a commercial version and attracts favourable comments as does Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware 1.26 and although I use both of those I have seen no objective test results. There are other free programmes such as HijackThis that are excellent, but they are for advanced users. </span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I have personally tried a considerable number of the anti-spyware programmes and quickly junked a number of those that cost money and are sometimes recommended. Some actually deliberately allowed spyware. If you are going to buy a programme get one of those with the greatest support.</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />

That was until using one, </span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Advanced System Care,</span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> required me to do a clean re-install of my Windows XP x64 operating system if I wanted to continue accessing Microsoft updates manually. [No such problem was caused by ASC on a x32 bit operating system.] That experience made me think twice about them and caused me to do a little research. To my surprise I found the cognoscenti were not only divided but that some very knowledgeable commentators were opposed to the use of registry cleaners. Here is a brief summary of what I found:<br />
</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">BASICALLY ANTI</b><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">: </span><a href="http://www.edbott.com/weblog/?p=643" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Ed Bott</a><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> ; </span><a href="http://ask-leo.com/whats_the_best_registry_cleaner.html" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Leo Notenboom</a><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> ; </span><a href="http://www.whatthetech.com/2007/11/25/do-i-need-a-registry-cleaner/" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Blair,</a><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> relying on Mark Russinovich and Bill Castner. </span><br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /></span> <br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">IN THE MIDDLE: </b><a href="http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/registry-cleaner-2?replies=38" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Scott.</a><br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /><br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /><b style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">BASICALLY PRO: </b><a href="http://www.langa.com/newsletters/2005/2005-10-10.htm#1" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Fred Langa</a><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> ; </span><a href="http://askbobrankin.com/do_i_need_a_registry_cleaner.html" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Bob Rankin.</a><br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /><br style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" /><b style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">IF YOU WANT ONE WHICH IS THE BEST?</b><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> For comments and reviews see </span><a href="http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/news/index.cfm?newsid=103295&&pn=7" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Steve Bass of PC Advisor, August 2008</a><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> ; </span><a href="http://registry-repair-software-review.toptenreviews.com/" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Top Ten Reviews 2009</a><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> ; </span><a href="http://www.registryguy.com/" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Mark Anderson</a><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> ; </span><a href="http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,1591471,00.asp" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Neil J Rubenking of PC Mag, August 2004</a><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> plus the two sites above which are basically pro and Leo Notenboom's.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">My conclusion was that if you are going to use a registry cleaner make sure it is a conservative one like CCleaner's. Others can have unintended and unexpected side effects.<br />
