If you know someone who has Pro, simple copy C:\Windows\System32\NTBackup.exe from his machine to yours in the same place, put a shortcut to that in your C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Accessories\System Tools folder, and you're in. No other DLLs or some such are needed, it's all in the .exe file. actually, you're sort of correct on that. After reading what you said, I did some digging around, and this is what I found: Windows XP Professional automatically installs ntbackup.exe. Retail XP Home Edition (both full retail and upgrade versions) include ntbackup.exe on CD but it is not installed by default. http://kadaitcha.cx/backup.html I didn't know this, and when I took a look at my CD, low and behold, there it was. -- *IMPORTANT*: Sorry folks, but I cannot provide email help Emails to me may become public Notice: This posting is protected under the Free Speech Laws, which applies everywhere in the FREE world, except for some strange reason, not to the mozilla.org newsgroup servers, where your posting may get you banned.
