Be sure to back up your files regularly. For large  amounts of data,

you might want to consider a portable tape backup unit. Make

copies of all your system and applicatioon program diskettes before

copying the programs to the hard disk.

Your computer comes with video drivers  and utilities already

installed on the hard disk. To protect these these important files, you

should back them up before you begin using your system. The

files are located in two directories, C:\WINDOWS\VGAUTIL

and C:\VGAUTIL.

Your can back up these directories using either the Windows File

Manager or the MS-DOS XCOPY command.

See your MS-DOS or Windows documentation f o r   m o r e

information about copying files and directories. See page 2-10 for
more information about using the video utilites and drivers.

The ActionNote provides password security for the entire system

or only the Setup program. This allows you to safeguard all your

data or only your Setup configuration. The passward function is

optional and you do not have to set a password if you don't wantdon’twant

You use the Setup program to first enable or disable a password

and then define it. (See Chapter 5 for instructions.)

If you enable the power-on password, you must enter it each time

you turn on or reset your computer. (Resetting the computer is

described later in this chapter.) The computer prompts you for the

password after it completes its power-on diagnostics.
