Basically, it was a program that had about 200 other programs of different types, all for ms-dos. I remember it when I was 7.

The only part i can remember is it had a whole bunch of categories on the left side for progams, like for games, education, printing, etc.

The background was red, and the way i used to start it was via an alias command in run.

Hello,

I am thinking the program you're thinking of was AutoMenu?

What you might have been looking at was an ASCII text menu pointing to numerous COMS - programs and utilities - residing on the hard drive. Auto menu being just one of many possibilities.

Sorry, my tablet severely restricts my view -- can a mod delete my post?

My suggestions:

 

1. Use Win-Tools to reduce the storage amount of your external HDD, then create a new Partion, C-backup only (eg your new partition should double larger than the used space of C: You could use command lines, but in this case, not same same steps and processes witth later backup progress, you should use GUI Partition apps.

 

2. In DOS, there is a great command for backup, update data, its XCOPY. I remember about 2000, I use this command a lot, with Task Schedule service, to normal backup daily, updating backup and full backup weekly. XCOPY has a lot of parameters, enoguh for Backing job.
