1. It depends on what way you want to do it. You can burn the files and folders to a disc. You can copy the files to a flash drive. You can copy it onto another hard drive. Or, you can simply just copy the files and folders to somewhere else in your C:/ drive.

2. Hold right click on the file or folder, and release right click on where you want the shortcut to be. Click the button that says "create shortcut"

Backing up. A backup is no more that a copy of the data that you wish to protect. You can copy and paste to any type of external medium such as cd's or external hard drives. You can also backup to online data storage. Online space can be obtained for people like Google. You can use a backup utility, but they create compressed files that can only be read by the program that created them.

To create a shortcut just right click on the file or folder, then slide the curser down to "Send to" and then over and up to "Desktop".

Password protection is not so simple. You will need to encrypt the data that you want to protect. An easier method is to create an account that has a password on it. If you are the computer administrator, then just go to "User Accounts" in the Control Panel and give your account a password. This will cause your computer to show the "Welcome" screen every time it boots. You will need to enter a password or windows won't load.

Hope this helps.

Okay. To backup a folder, just right click it and click "copy" then click "paste". This will duplicate the folder. Then put all the folders you duplicate to a disk. A BIG DISK

Shortcuts to folders- simply right click on your desktop and click under the "new" menu, click shortcut. Then copy and paste the address of the folder you want to copy into the field for the shortcut.

Passwords- I think what you have to do is go into your folder and click "create password" under the file menu... I think... i'm not to sure.

1. Right-click on the folder or file and "copy"
go to your destination -- external storage, I hope
Right-click, paste

2. Shortcut: right-click on the folder or file
click "create shortcut"
right-click on the shortcut and "cut"
go to the destination and paste

3. Password-protect a file:
open the file
click "save as"
in the Save as dialog box, top-right, click Tools
click General
Bottom left, see "password to open"?
type a password
keep a record of it because if you forget it, you're sunk
