Folders? Oh, do you mean directories? The most important ones are the
ones that contain your critical data that you don't have backups for.


e mail is stored. Example thunderbird has a profile in the thunderbird folder. I use that in windows xp can i for example use the same folder in xp and suse so i dont double up on e mails ?


Yes, you can, if that directory is located on a partition/filesystem that
is writable by both OS's (like FAT32). I suspect that the way you have
things set up right now, it isn't possible. You'll have to change some
things, although I'd recommend just dumping XPee completely.

It is not a good idea to dump XP completely yet as I am not confident that Linux can do everything that Linux can . I need to run coral draw for example for business I doubt Linux can run that yet . With XP I know what I need to back up , like favourites , e mail , ,address book desktop . I can then reformat and replace just these . My main files like documents photos , music each have their own Folder( directory ) and are saved to different partitions and removable media . At this stage I am still trying to find a distro that I like , although Suse federa and unbuntu are proving to be the most reliable so far.
