Is it possible to backup all files etc just for one user?

I have set up five accounts on my laptop: me (Administrator) and, as users, myself, my wife and our two daughters.

Our girls have flown the nest, and both have their pads, tablets and all the other technical gadgets that people their age so I want to remove it from the laptop and then do a factory reset (which I will first research carefully)

I would like to back up just their accounts to the (separate) sticks so they can decide what to keep and what to throw away.

I searched high and low for how to do this, but without success. I then had brain waves back up whole PC and and then deleting those which I don't stick, but after reviewing my current backups, they do not seem to show all files in the usual sense.

Can I save as a single user account (twice, one for each daughter)?

Quite honestly, the easiest would be to jump using any program to do and simply copy the files directly.

Open the C:\Users folder, and you will see a folder for each person.  Copy and paste these folders to the separate USB that you need to copy all their files there and you're done, safe and simple.

  • Elimination of the 1 of 2 users. At all programs, files, etc., transferred to another user.

    Good evening

    I have XP Professional.

    How can I eliminate the 1 of 2 users and have all the programs, files, etc. for use by the user remaining.

    In other words when I log on, there is only one user (myself) and all programs, files, etc. from the old user can be accessed by me

    I hope that this request is understood.

    Thanks for the quick response.

    Programs are generally available in the world (to all users of the system) until they were initially installed for all users. Regarding data (documents, photos, music, etc.), simply copy the files from one user account to the other. Using Windows Explorer (my computer), go to C:\Windows\Documents and Settings\nom A\My Documents and copy what you want C:\Windows\Documents and Settings\nom B\My Documents. Etc.

    If this isn't what you wanted to know, please clarify your situation.

    That's if you want all references of this machine 'dbhost' or 'dbhost.mydom.com' to resolve to address IP 192.168.1.101 and all references of this machine to 'dbhost2' or 'dbhost2pc.mydom.com' to resolve the IP 192.168.1.100.

    Is it mandatory to have the first line with "127.0.0.1..."?

    No, it can be anywhere in the hosts file. Strictly speaking, it is not yet mandatory to have at all, but as the poster said, if you delete it, some features may be lost.

    All net communications should go down to an IP address. The hosts file is nothing else that a mechanism to map a name to IP address. This allows you to return a destination by name, and really, this name can be anything you want. Resolving to 127.0.0.1 ' localhost' is a universal standard which depend on some process.

  • Double-click to open a Word or Excel file crashes just for centuries before opening it later.

    Recently, by double clicking on a file name to open a Word or Excel file, my PC crashes just for centuries before opening it later. Text files, PDF, jpg files and other open immediately, no problem. I have not changed the Word/Excel software recently and the extensions.doc/.xls file are correctly associated with programs. Why don't double-click work properly?

    Open Word/Excel and then use the file - dialog box open to open a file.

    Hi, have windows 8 pro on a system. Works very well in most ways. One issue that has developed is with 4 windows accounts (3-wire), I could only load an application in a single account

    It was Khan Acadamy that I was trying to load them onto the child user accounts

    The app would not come upward in the store in the account of the children.

    even checked my apps @ in-store, on account of children, but nothing would be there down load

    Other low games loaded and have the same problem, only of the concerts for a user

    Thank you

    I suggest to move the Khalaf account to administrator and then check to see if you can install the app from Khan Academy.

    If the above fails, try running the troubleshooter in Microsoft Accounts. It is an automated tool that can find and automatically fix some problems. It is available in English only, but will work in all languages.

  • Why Windows backup all files to predefined backup weekly? How can I get to only add additions and changes to the backup files?

    I back up my files to an external hard drive.  Rather than simply add changes or additions, it adds all the files each time, causing the hard drive fills up quickly.  This problem was not always present; It began less than a year ago, so I wonder if it was caused by an update.

  • Is it possible to make all THE FOLDERS, every last one of them, uniform for all THE ELEMENTS?

    Is it possible to BAN for ALWAYS all one solitary instance of formats of unnecessary file such as details of music, Documents, etc. and to make EVERY SINGLE SOLITARY folder in Vista "all items"? Ugh...

    Here's how to change the default template for a folder:http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/70819-windows-explorer-folder-view-settings.html.  Default behavior is to select the model based on the first type of file placed in the folder (you must choose something).  Vista sets thefolder type template according to what are the types of files in the window and the settings display window Explorer. This will show you how to resetthe Windows Explorer folder view settings, disable Automatic folder Type discovery and increase theview of the folder cache to have Vista don't forget display settings, model of file type, size, or position of a specific window for when it was still closed to the location of specific path.

    It does not work with the Sub record under, Open with,open in a new tab (Internet Explorer), etc... dialog windows of type through the goodFile menu bar item. These don't seem to be able to have their size or their position to recall. For the latter, you can use the free programhttp://autosizer.en.softonic.com/to resize them.

  • How can I view individual files that have been backed up? I will restore all files, not just a few specific?

    Recently, I backed up my files, such as registered and deleted from my HARD drive.  Restarting resolved a number of issues.  Now, I need to restore specific files a few I.e. 'my music '.  How can I find and restore individual files or folders WITHOUT restoring those that were responsible for the problems that CAUSED problems.  I want to remove most of the backup and save a few folders/files.

    How can I watch them?  I tried to 'Search' for 'my music' and some specific mp3 and names without success.

    It is not really possible to save or to clone the recovery partition. Your best option is to create the support of HP recovery using the Recovery Manager or to order HP media to DVD - Windows 7 64B doublespeak (Office 2010) + Supp 1 Recovery Kit.
