Keep Winamp Hooked to MP3 During Upgrade
SUMMARY: Prevent Windows
Media Player 10 from hijacking MP3 playback from Winamp.
If
you currently run Winamp to play your MP3 files, you should do the
following during the Windows Media Player 10 upgrade process to help
ensure it does not take over your MP3 multimedia playback.
During
the Windows Media Player 10 upgrade, a "Customize the Installation
Options" dialog will appear. When it does, click the "File Types" tab
and uncheck "MP3 audio files" to keep Winamp playing these files.
You may want to uncheck other file types, as desired, if you already
have preferred multimedia players for said file types.

Backing Up only One Folder
Since backing up specific
files is a chore that
most put off until an ample number of files are ready to be stored,
create a specific folder for items to be backed up. That way, while you
are using your computer, if you see a folder that needs or can be
stored on a backup, just drag and drop that folder underneath your
pre-made backup folder. I personally use the name 'Transport." Anything
underneath "Transport" will be backed up and moved off-line when I next
perform my individual file backups.

General Computers - What
are .CHK Files?
(This is only
applicable to MS-DOS based computers, whether or not they are using
Windows)
Whenever
you run a disk scan and repair tool, such as ScanDisk or ChkDsk
(depending on your operating system), the default action when finding
errors on the hard disk (such as invalid clusters) is to save the
affected files as a .CHK file, thus "repairing" the error.
The
next question that follows is if these .CHK files can be deleted. If
you wish, the files probably can be safely deleted without any problems
(use your discretion). You, however, may want to first examine these
files with a file hex editor (if you have such a program), checking to
see if there is any data contained in the .CHK files that you would
like to recover.
