At the end of every burn, Nero ask's you if you want to save that compilation....so next time save it, it will have an .NRI extension. Now, when you open Nero, just open that NRI extension and it will have all of the folders in there which you previously burned! :)

Do i have to save it every time or only at the first time?
next time when i use this .NRI file
is it sure that the next burn will includs the changes made to all these 9 folders?
is it going to burn complitly new set or will burn only the changes?
thank you

ACK, I made a mistake, it indeed does NOT update any changes to a saved folder, I assumed that it did since whenever I open up any of my saved .nri files, a message pops up saying that 0 files have been add, and 0 files deleted.....sorry bout that!! :(

Write a script to copy the nine folders to one folder and just burn that "one" folder.
Once you have the script made up, all you need to do is click the file it's in, and all nine folders get copied to one, overwriting the originals after it's used the first time.

That's what computers are all about, making repetative tasks easy.

Hey!!!

Put that post back!!

The following script copies my favs, my docs, my address book, and my OE mail folders to a folder on my Y: drive called mybackup

Use it as an example to do what you want to do.

@echo off
if exist y:\mybackup goto doit
md y:\MyBackup
md y:\mybackup\docs
md y:\mybackup\favs
md y:\mybackup\contacts
md y:\mybackup\oebackup
:doit
xcopy /s /e /h /y "%USERPROFILE%\My Documents" y:\mybackup\docs
xcopy /s /e /h /y "%USERPROFILE%\Favorites" y:\mybackup\favs
xcopy /s /e /h /y "%USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\Address Book" y:\mybackup\contacts
xcopy /s /e /h /y "%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\{A620D4DA-B4A2-4170-BBA7-C97E980E4E5B}\Microsoft\Outlook Express" y:\mybackup\oebackup

you're my hero norm.

i think i'm in love with you!!!

;)

I'm going to add that script to my startup.

(what extension would the script end with?)

[Norm]

I have it as a .bat file. You can also name it as a .cmd, doesn't matter either way.

Note:
Zooner (and anyone else) look at the last line of that script at the dir {A620D4DA-B4A2-4170-BBA7-C97E980E4E5B}

This dir may be different on your machine. Follow the path to your own Outlook Express folder and replace the dir above with your own in the script.
