keep records of such downloads? Such as a Utility program that
monitors Downloads other than WinXP? (that is rather vague, Norton
Clean Sweep, or something like it)?

when bought by 50 or 100. That figure includes the cost of internal
CD-RW.Nothing is better in Electronic Computing than a reliable
Backup, and if one relies on Windows to store said backups, well is
kinda tough to Boot a PC if the OS goes flakey, (which happens).

Laptop ever gets run over by a Fire Truck,Eaten by a Dog, Decides it
is Esther Williams, or something.
