Menu trick:
Open My Computer and then access the Properties for your main hard drive. Select the Tools tab and options for Error-checking and Defragmentation will be listed. By making a slight change to the Registry you can add a third option: the Windows XP Back-up utility. Open the Registry Editor and locate HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Explorer \ MyComputer. Right-click the My Computer key, click New -> Key and call it backuppath. In the pane opposite, right-click the Default value, choose Modify and give it a value of %SystemRoot%\system32\ntbackup. exe. Then open the Properties of your hard drive and select the Tools tab to see the new option.

You should now have created your own 'Back-up" utility.
