Guest Doug Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 I'd like to automatically run a procedure to backup certain files to an external disk drive at shutdown. Currently I must double-click an icon on the screen. Naturally I often forget. I can run a procedure at startup by putting it in the start menu's startup folder. How do I do run something at shutdown? -- Doug

Guest usasma Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 RE: Run procedure at shutdown I use SyncBackSE for this and was so impressed that I bought the "pay-for" version for my wife's office. I also hear good things about the free Cobian backup program. - John "Doug" wrote: > I'd like to automatically run a procedure to backup certain files to an > external disk drive at shutdown. > Currently I must double-click an icon on the screen.

I tested the trial version and bought it 5 minutes later. I use it to sync document files on two different computers over a network. David
Guest Doug Posted August 1, 2007 Posted August 1, 2007 Re: Run procedure at shutdown I have the procedure written and running by clicking an icon, but I'd like the procedure run automatically. Surely it is possible.
