The benefits of backing up data from your personal computer or business servers are countless. Data on any computer these days is very valuable, whether it's your iTunes music library or an accounting database for a small business. This valuable information can be lost in a plethora of disasters including power surges, viruses, and even improper shut downs or device removals.

As more and more information is digitized and external storage prices continue to drop, increasingly more data users are "backing up" their information. That is - they are saving their files in multiple places to avoid loss of valuable data. Now that you have decided it's a good idea to backup your files, you have two choices - external hard drives or online storage.

When using Firefox, as many people do. In this case, they had just upgraded Internet Explorer to IE7 and was having problems with Outlook Express. Below is Q & A style that can use as solution:

Question:
I currently have Fire Fox and Internet Explorer on my computer. I just added the Internet Explorer as a browser after removing it some time ago. Outlook Express is my default email handler. The problem is that in Outlook Express the links don't open since I added Internet Explorer. Tech guy at a local computer shop says that it seams like the two are competing I am hoping that you have some ideas as I have tried a few from a Google search.

Answer:
Internet Explorer 7 messes up Outlook Express' settings if Internet Explorer is not the default web browser when it is installed.

The fix is simple, but will also destroy any special settings that you've changed in Internet Explorer. For example, if you changed Active-X to "prompt" instead of automatically run, you'll lose that setting and have to change it again.

When you reinstalled IE, did you do it as IE6 or IE7?

If you installed IE7, you can do an IE repair which should solve the problem:

• Open Internet Explorer 7
• From the menu bar, select Tools > Options
• In the Internet Options dialog box that opens, click on the Advanced tab
• Near the bottom, in the section that says "Reset Internet Explorer settings", click the Reset button.

If you had customized any IE settings, you will have to make your changes again.
