I'm running WinFax10 on my system. I want to back up all of my data files
for WinFax but I'm running into problems.
WinFax has it's own backup utility, but when it runs some of the data files
don't get backed up because they are in use. Similarly, when I try to copy
the data files to a backup directory I get the message that some files are
being used by another program (WinFax) and they can't be copied.
If I do a CTRL-ALT-DELETE and close all WinFax related programs I can copy
away to my hearts content. I'd like to run a batch file every time WinXP
boots, before any programs are loaded, but it seems that autoexec.bat is not
run at startup. Does anyone know how to force autoexec.bat to run or how to
make any batch file run at startup?
I'm a novice so please explain things simply. Thanks.
