Writing to a CD

tru

Hi all.

I have lots of spreadsheets which are updated and backed up daily. My PC (using Windows XP) has died a death so I'm using an old laptop with Windows 2000.

I always write my files to CD by right-clicking, and choosing to option 'send to E:' and it says 'there is already a file named 'work', do you want to overwrite?', I click yes, and away we go.

But on 2000, it tells me there's already a file named 'work' and I need to rename it. How do get it to overwrite the existing one instead of adding another virtually identical but re-named file?

Thank yooooooooooooou

Sorry, got that a bit wrong :rolleyes:

When I right-click the file, there's no option to send to CD, so I open the file, click 'file' and then click 'save as'. Then it tells me to rename.

You could rename the file you are saving as work1, work2, etc or even work followed by the date. This is the way we back up at work, so just by looking at the file you know when the backup was made.
