In this exercise, you add scripts and backup files to the Visual Studio Solution you created in Chapter 3. You
start by creating the files and a subfolder to hold the files. Then add these files to a logical Visual Studio
folder, as shown in Figure
5-37
.
Important:
You are practicing administrator-level tasks in this topic, so you need administrator-level
privileges. The easiest way to achieve this is to remember to always right-click a menu item, select Run as
Administrator, and then answer Yes to access administrator-level privileges while running this program. In
Windows 7 and Vista, logging in with an administrator account is not enough. For more information, search
the Web on the keywords “Windows 7 True Administrator and user Access Control.”
