Me: Yes, there's a folder on your desktop called "backup" all your data is in there.

C: I've been in to like Mydocuments and there's nothing there! I told you to backup my data!

Me: Have you checked the folder on your desktop?

C: What folder? I can see my pictures and my music but there's nothing in it!

Me: Close everything down for me, go back to your initial desktop screen ok?

C: OK

Me: Right, on the left hand side bellow the Recycle bin you have 2 folders. Free utils and Backup, correct?

C: Erm.. yeah.
