Is there a Microsoft utility to manage...

Only one of these is capable of handling backups large enough to require formatting at least three DVD+RWs. If the list of previous backups is currently empty (for example, because the main...

File not recognized by eric blom
I have an Excel file on my desktop. Whenever I double-click on it, I get the error message "Windows cannot find 'C:\users\owners\Desktop\eric.sources.xlsx' It doesn't matter if I save it under another name, or even pasting into a new file. I am able to open it by opening Excel first and then using the "open" function.
