Simple Script to Schedule Backup

I am recently asked to improve/automate a manual backup job. What they did previously was to copy a complete folder from c:\xxx to f:\xxx manually everyday at 4:30pm, and what is more annoying was that the user was prompted every time if he/she was to overwrite the existing file in destination folder.

Here i managed to create a batch file which i believe will help anyone who needs to do this manually everyday.

Open Notepad, copy and paste the following lines to your notepad and save it as copy.bat
set copycmd=/y
XCOPY C:\temp\* D:\temp\ /i /s

In line 1, copycmd=/y tells the system not to prompt to ask overwrite whatever existed in destination folder. If you changed it to copycmd=/-y, then the system will prompt if you want to overwrite it.

In line 2, XCOPY allows you to copy files and/or directory trees to another folder. XCOPY is similar to the COPY command except that it has additional switches to specify both the source and destination in detail; where C:\temp\* is your source, D:\temp\ is your destination, /i means if in doubt always assume the destination is a folder e.g. when the destination does not exist, and /s means copy folders and subfolders.

Then last step, you open the Scheduled Tasks (Start->Accessories->System Tools->Scheduled Tasks in WinXP), double-click Add Scheduled Tasks, browse to your copy.bat, and finally define when you want the system to perform this task.

Hopefully this can help. Cheers...

Cannot create file: xxx.xls. Right-click the folder you want to create the file in, and then click properties on the shortcut menu to check...

One of my user received this error when trying to open an excel attachment in Outlook 2007 sent from Supervisor "Cannot create file: xxx.xls. Right-click the folder you want to create the file in, and then click properties on the shortcut menu to check your permission for the folder."

To resolve this problem, it is suggested that you need to delete all the temporary files in the temporary internet file folder.

Here's the info extract from Microsoft on how to locate the temporary internet file folder in your computer:

When Outlook 2003 or Outlook 2007 first tries to use a temporary file, it examines the registry to determine whether the following value exists, depending on your version of Outlook.

Outlook 2003
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\Security

Value Name: OutlookSecureTempFolder
Data Type: REG_SZ
Outlook 2007
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Outlook\Security

Value Name: OutlookSecureTempFolder
Data Type: REG_SZ
If the value exists, and if the value contains a valid path, Outlook 2003 or Outlook 2007 uses that location for its temporary files.

If the registry value does not exist, or if it points to an invalid location, Outlook 2003 or Outlook 2007 creates a new subdirectory under the Temporary Internet Files directory and puts the temporary file in the new subdirectory. The name of the new subdirectory is unknown, is randomly generated, and takes on the following form, depending on your version of Outlook.

Outlook 2003
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\OLKxxx
In this example, username is the user name that is used by the person who is currently logged on to the computer, and xxx is a randomly generated sequence of letters and numbers.

Outlook 2007
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\xxxxxxxx

Note In Windows Vista, the temporary file resides in the following location:
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.Outlook\xxxxxxxx

Cannot start Microsoft Office Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook window

I was told by a user today that he experienced an error in Outlook "Cannot start Microsoft Office Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook window." I checked with what he'd done before this problem, it's because that he didn't shut down the system properly, i.e. forced shutdown with power button while Outlook was still running.

I googled and found an article (available at here) discussing the same issue. The problem was resolved after running the command in Start -> run -> enter "outlook /resetnavpane"

Actually there are other commands/switches available in Outlook to address different issues, you may access to the following link to see what each one of them do.
