I am going to assume that you are using msword?\n\nIf so you need to go into tools then options and you will find a thing in there some place that says make backup file blah blah just turn it off.\n\nNow I think thats where it is but seeing I am using my laptop at the moment I don't have msword to check. It is close though.

Try Filelodge, or Photobucket, both are free... but beware, if there servers crash your pics are gone! External hard drives are cheep, 100gig for $60-$70 I use one for my music & pictures...

Windows has a built in backup program which can be used for this. Go to accessories/systemstools/backup and the wizard will walk you thought e process. You can also setup a recurring backup which will update the back up with all the files that have changed during the day at a set night every night.\n\njainnys\nMind Experts Inc.\nhttp://www.mindexp.com

The best thing to do is stay off D drive before you screw up your computer. If the manufacture wanted you on it, it wouldn't be in the lock position.

Try WinISO, I've made backups of my program cd's or dvd's this way.  It turns it into an .iso file which you can mount if you have daemon tools.\n\nhttp://ts.searching.com/torrent/232407/WinISO_5_3_and_Registration_Info\nhttp://ts.searching.com/torrent/538950/Daemon_tools_3_7

Nothing free...You can purchase a 100/160 or 250 gig internal or external drive for around $100.00 on sale...much better solution and far more security.

I have been using Folder Lock for a few years now and it is brilliant - Not only does it lock your file/folders but it can also lock Hard Drives (partitions included) and removeable drives - If I lock G partition on my drive it makes it invisible to the outside world and that includes ALL files and folders locked too! Highly Recommend to all :\n\nhttp://www.newsoftwares.net/folderlock/
