you can use storage sites that let you load it up there then the person that needs it can gain access to it from there that is the best way to do that.

If all you are worried about is crash and losing files... hard to beat dropBox for something like that. Don't need to do anything,, its like magic. Files on your your hard drive folder,, with no effort there will be a copy in your online dropbox with same folder name automatically. Delete a file from your folder, it deletes from dropbox ... but.. you can view and restore deletes at dropbox for a few days. Crash your hard drive completely, reinstall windows fresh and install the dropbox program.. the real magic quietly happens.. suddenly those folders and files all up to the minute/date in real time from when you crashed,,, reappear on your computer. Any computer you install dropbox on will have the same files on it too... as long as you use the same account/login/password. Here is a link that might be useful: DropBox (referal link = more free space)

I should have given more detail. The Win7 is probably not legitimate. I bought the old desk top several years ago on craigslist. It appeared to have been used in a business environment. It had/has Win7 Ultimate, but it was originally an ME machine. It also had MS Office. After ~1 year, I got messages that the MS Office needed renewing. Eventually, I went to my computer guy, who I guess has purchased bulk copies of various office sweets etc and also upgrades and retires old computers, presumably/perhaps moving their liscenses. He got Office reset. Last year, I had a problem needing his help and he told me that there were now indications that the Win7 ultimate was potentially not legal, but that he didn't have any copies of Ultimate. I'm not sure why he didn't set up a normal Win7 that I assume he has. A month or two after this, I began getting the Windows not real messages with the black screen.

zep - my computer is almost always turned off at 3 am on Wednesday. Is the auto defrag still able to do its thing?I used to have CCleaner ... until one day my fingers hit the wrong keys. SnidelyW. : I used to be one of those people who downloaded and deleted lots and lots ... but not so much any more. And it may very well have been during that time that I got "suckered into" downloading Auslogic. I have Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and SUPER Anti-Spyware and ATF-Cleaner to help Windows "do its thing". Which I use much more frequently than the Auslogic defrag. Thanks again to you both.
