In
previous
issue, our column about "Control your desktop"
showed you which important
folders / files to back-up in particular using WINDOWS
COMMANDER and the extended "send to"
facility of Microsoft "PowerToys
for Windows 95/98" in order to have
a safety-net against possible disaster.
We follow-up in this
issue on how to prepare for "restore/recovery"
and discussed about the difference between the "Start-up"
disks of Windows 95 and Windows 98.
Let's see now how to prepare a
start-up disk generated from Windows 95 and include
the CD-ROM player drivers.
The ideal is to have Windows 98 installed; in that
case the start-up disk is already fit for all restore
tasks as the CD-ROM player drivers are automatically
included during the start-up disk generation process.
If you are still running Windows
95, here is how to proceed to include your CD-ROM drivers
in the start-up disk:
Open
WINDOW COMMANDER.
Choose
drive a:\ in one of the panels of WINDOW COMMANDER
insert
your CD-ROM player install disk into your a\ drive.
Click
on the a:\ drive in the WINCOM panel and open
the floppy inserted in the a:\ drive.
Copy
all the files on the floppy to a temporary
folder in the second panel of WINCOM.
Remove
your CD-ROM install disk from drive a:\ and
insert your Windows 95 start-up disk.
drag
all files resulting from item 5 into the start-up
disk in drive a:\
Next
month, in AFRICABIZ issue: 10
we will see how to use these start-up disks for restore
operations.
The
freebie of the month is about a
download manager: GetRight:
Have you ever been stuck in the
middle of a download and been obliged
to resume the download from the start? Sure, when it
happens
it's really annoying
if the file in question
is in the MB range (3 to 15 MB or more).
Now you can download any size
of file without fearing the hang up of your system or
network problem. If it does happen, no problem;
you just restart where you where before the stopping.
All that thanks to a freebie called GetRight which means
GET IT RIGHT ANYTIME.
GetRight is a great utility for
downloading files.
If you're disconnected, GetRight can pick up where
it left off and complete the download. Other
features include multithreading support, mirror searching,
download scheduling, and audio support. You can
set up login / password information to automate retrieval
from password-protected FTP sites, establish various
default download folders based on file type, set up
automatic daily downloads, automatically virus-scan
downloaded files, and customize the files types that
GetRight monitors. This top-notch download manager leaves
no stone unturned; it's powerful,
easy to use, and highly configurable and includes excellent
online help.
The free version has an advertisement attachment. The registration fee is a small contribution for
