Worldstart Computer Tips 09-10-2010  FACT: 100% Of All Hard Drives Fail! FACT: It's Not A Matter Of "IF" Your Drive Will Fail- It's a Matter Of "When"!
FACT: In The US Alone, Over 20 MILLION People Will Have A Hard Drive Crash This Year! FACT: 110 MILLION Will Lose Data To Malware & Viruses!
FACT: YOU Need A Backup Plan! FACT: When Your Drive Fails, You Only Have Three Choices: 1. Restore Your Backup "There are two kinds of computer users in this world - Those who have lost data and those who will!" Let's face it - we REALLY rely on our computers. We keep our irreplaceable photos, videos, documents, and music right there on our PCs. However, a staggering 76% of us do NOT back up as often as we should! That's Texas Chain Saw Massacre scary if you ask me! Think that's bad? Get this - 43% of people polled admitted they've lost data from their hard drive - over the course of just ONE year! That's nearly HALF of all computer users!! "Sorry about our wedding photos hun..., Oh, and can I have $1000 to replace the iTunes library?"
Take cover - we're talking the black Plague of the digital age! What's even MORE outrageous is that it's SOOOOO easy to keep your irreplaceable files, photos, and music safe and sound! A good backup program is ALL you need! I think the reason people don't worry about backups enough is we're all WAY too accustomed to things coming in a physical form. I mean, think about it - used to be we had things like CDs, photo negatives (and prints), and actual paper documents. Those days are fading fast! Just look at digital photos - over 80% of the households in the US now own a digital camera. Around 90% of us keep digital photos on our computers - either from our cameras or from images sent by friends and family. What happens when there's a problem? Will years of your family history simply be wiped out due to a crash or virus? Too bad about little Timmy's first 5 years huh?
What about music? Over 70% of us keep music on our computers. If you purchased that music online, you know that if you lose it, it's gone forever! You'll have to repurchase everything- and THAT gets expensive quick! Hey, even if you only copied CDs - do you really want to go through that hassle again??? Then of course there are all the important documents, favorite web sites, spreadsheets, tax forms, financial files, etc that we've accumulated over the years. Just how many countless hours do you have invested in creating those files? Are you willing to lose it all - right now - and start from scratch? I didn't think so! So why isn't everyone a backup fanatic? When asked, most people will cite one of two reasons for NOT doing backups - either they are too much of a hassle, or they simply have no idea how to do it. Don't fall into the "I'll get around to it" trap! The backup you're planning to make tomorrow won't help you one little bit when your computer crashes today. Well, the program we're featuring solves BOTH the problems above with ease AND for $8.97 it's something everyone can afford. Finally! (Note - this is a one time software purchase, not a monthly fee like many online backup services) Of course, just any old backup software won't do - you need something that will actually work WITH you to take ALL the hassle out of doing your regular backups - and we have just the program! It's called, appropriately enough, Save My Files, and you are absolutely gonna love this easy to use file backup program!
First off, let's take a peek at all the cool features:
A Full Backup does just what it sounds like - backs up EVERY file you tell it to. Now, that alone would usually be enough, but this program cranks it up to the next level by offering time saving Incremental Backups as well! Incremental Backups are backups you do AFTER you've completed a full backup. Check it out - This type of "smart backup" looks at your current archive and ONLY copies files that are either new or updated! It leaves the stuff that's not changed alone!
Bottom line - You don't have to wait an hour (or hours) for a backup job to complete! Once the initial full backup job is done, the incremental backups are VERY fast (usually less than a minute)! If disaster strikes, you still have ALL your old files, so nothing to lose and mountains of time to gain. I LOVE incremental backups - and YOU will too!
For example, let's say you wanted to backup all your pictures. Just select the option for "Photos", and let it go to work. In a blink of an eye the program starts scouring your hard drive for photos. It checks all over - heck it may find photos you didn't know you had! Again - YOU don't need to know where all the files actually are - this finds and backs them up automatically! How cool is that?
You can even specify file types, so if you have some proprietarily format, it can automatically find those files too! Now THAT'S a KILLER feature!
You'll never need to worry about someone getting at your sensitive information just because they found the CD you keep your backup on. Nice!
Here's the thing - what if you do a backup and then lose the backup software? How can you get your files OUT of the compressed backup file? Yikes! Ahh, no worries - this software stores your files in a standard ZIP file that can be opened via Windows (Note - it WILL prompt you for your password if you choose to encrypt and protect the file).
Oh - and don't forget - with ZIP format, you're compressing everything! Awesome - Your backups won't take up gobs of space!!
You can select ANY folder on your hard drive and it will back it up for you!
Whew - that's quite a list, and it doesn't even HINT at how incredibly easy this software is to use! Backing up is just a matter of running the program and telling it what you want to save! A few mouse clicks and you're good to go!
Don't believe me? Check out out video demonstration and I'll prove it!
Now, here's the really cool thing - after you do your initial backup, all you need to do for future backups is run the program and tell it to use your existing backup job! Talk about a time saver!
Plus, this lets you create MULTIPLE backups too! You could have several backup files - one for pictures, one for business, one for music - or lump them all together - it's totally up to you! WOW - there's a LOT to this software, but I think you get the idea - it makes doing your regular backups SUPER easy! The program is basic enough for anyone to use but still has enough options for advanced users - what more could you want? Oh, yeah, the deal - we're talking just $8.97 and US shipping is FREE! That's got to be one of the best deals in the history of the PC - Heck most backup programs go for a MINIMUM of $50! RUN to the site and grab your before they're gone! This was a VERY limited time offer and we can't guarantee how long this software is going to last - especially for this crazy low price! http://store.worldstart.com/product/6456 PS - Right this very second, a hard drive is failing or a virus is destroying data - you could be next! Remember, there's a 43% chance that YOU will lose data this year! Don't take a risk - grab this amazing, easy to use backup software today and make sure you data is SAFE!   Nancy from Champaign, Illinois asks: When I click on a link in an email, an annoying dialog box pops up called "locate link browser". What is it and how do I get rid of this? Great question Nancy, and yes there is a way to get rid of the locate link browser popup. We bet you are using the Firefox browser. Nothing bad about that, but if anything but Internet Explorer is your default browser, you will get this pop up. Have no worries because this article is going to put a stop to this annoying problem. Below are the steps to fix this problem for Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7. WINDOWS XP Click Start and My Computer. Click Tools then Folder Options.  Click the File Types tab and you will see a list of registered file types. Under the Extensions column, find the extensions (None) URL: HyperText Transfer Protocol. Click on it one time to select it.  Click the Advanced button then the Edit button.  Uncheck the Use DDE check box if it is checked. Make sure Open is under Action and that the Application used to perform action is Firefox. This should already be there but if it is not you can click the Browse button and find it. Click OK twice and the window will close.  Close Firefox, open Outlook, and click on a link in an email. It should work, and you should no longer get the locate link browser pop up. Repeat the same steps above but his time choose HyperText Transfer Protocol with Privacy and FTP WINDOWS VISTA AND WINDOWS 7 If you are using Windows Vista or Windows 7 the above instructions will not work. To fix the locate link browser pop up you will have to edit the registry. Before we do anything, you need to back-up the registry. If you make a change that you want to undo or make a mistake, you will have a way to import the back up. Make sure you are logged in as an Administrator before you begin. Click Start, type “regedit” (without quotes) in the Search field, and press Enter. Click File then Export. Select the location where you want to save the backup and type a name for the file in the File name box. Click Save. . Now that the Windows Registry Editor is backed up let’s continue with the next step. Click on Start, then Run, type regedit in the Search field and press Enter.  Navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\HTTP\shell\open\ddeexec registry key. Delete the “ddexec” registry key. Repeat for the following keys: “HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\HTTPS\shell\open\ddeexec” “HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\FirefoxURL\shell\open\ddeexec” “HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\FirefoxHTML\shell\open\ddeexec” ~Rita Wood Click here to rate this tip | Printer friendly version
