| One of the new features that Windows XP offers is the ability to have separate settings for each user, this is called a ‘User Profile’. Contained in a ‘User Profile’ are desktop settings, favorites, program-specific data that is contained in the Application Data folder, and the contents of the My Documents folder for that user. Obviously this is pretty important and would be something that you should be making occasional backups of. This guide will show you how to create a copy of a users profile (by creating a copy you are creating a backup). |

For additional security, enable the Control+Alt+Delete login screen for XP. Using this is far more secure than the traditional XP login screen due to the fact that no program can intercept CTRL+ALT+DEL. Thus you are protecting yourself from a application (a bad application, could be spyware or a virus) from learning your machine password. |
