Securing your files in Windows 7

By Lois Park


Occasionally important files just go missing at the wrong time by coincidence always when you want them. Happily there are ways of getting them back, if you allow time to do some preparation first. Ive made instructions on how it's possible for you to recover files which have been deleted or corrupted when using Windows 7.

Setting up system restore

Log onto your personal computer and select start and Control Panel then click System properties. Once there navigate to the System Protection tab. On this tab you can start configuring the revive point.

Configuration

Here you can select how huge or little a space youd like to dedicate to the system restore. 10 percent of your drive is the commended amount as this lets you have lots of free space as well as having all your vital documents configured for revive. If you've got more than 1 drive then simply repeat the method each time using 10 p.c of that tough drive.

Making a restore point

It is advised that once youve configured your system revive, you should instantly create a revive point. By clicking the create button you will be inspired to pigeonhole the restore point, but it's usually possible to stick with the Windows recommendation.

The easy way to restore a file

Should you find a file that isnt quite right, all you need to do is right click and select revive previous version. This can bring up previous copies of the file that Windows has previously backed up. Select the one you need and youre good to go. It?s a straightforward way of guaranteeing you are never losing your files.

In the short period of time it takes you to set up this revive function, you are covered in case of a complete disaster taking the time to try this can be the real difference between a tragedy and a straightforward restore.
