Can't able to open SQL 2000 Enterprise Manager

Today, i got a new compliant that SQL 2000 Enterprise Manager is not opening.When i try to open the SQL 2000 Enterprise Manager shortcut it prompts an error message.The message is

"MMC cannot open the file C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\BINN\SQL Server Enterprise Manager.MSC. This may be because the file does not exist, is not an MMC console, or was created by a later version of MMC. This may also be because you do not have sufficient access rights to the file."

Initially I tried to restart the SQL Server 2000 Agent service,but it failed, then again restarted all the SQL services, but it was useless. Then started to search out in Google with the error message. Finally I got a solution and implemented in the PC which made my SQL Server 2000 to work fine.

Steps to resolve the issue :-

1) Select Start - Run.
2) At the Open prompt enter: mmc
3) Click OK
4) Select File - Add/Remove Snap-in...
5) Click Add...
6) Select Microsoft SQL Enterprise Manager
7) Click Add, then Close
8) Click Ok to return to the mmc.
9) Select File - Save As...
10) Delete or rename the original (offending) file out the way.
11) Save the new msc file as C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\BINN\SQL Server Enterprise Manager.MSC

Now your original shortcut should work.

Still wondering what might have caused that file to get corrupted.

Setup Windows XP Backups & Scheduled Tasks

Recommended Backup Schedule:

* Four (4) days a week: Run a DAILY DIFFERENTIAL BACKUP. A DIFFERENTIAL backup will backup only those files that have been created or modified since your last NORMAL backup.
* One (1) day a week: Run a WEEKLY NORMAL BACKUP. A NORMAL Backup will backup ALL your selected files and mark them as backed up.

How long will backups take to run and what is the impact on my computer?

Daily differential backups will take a shorter time to run than your normal full backup since this backs up only modified and new files. Depending on how many files are involved this backup may only take a few minutes. You should be able to work normally on your computer, but may notice a slight slow down.

Weekly normal full backup will of course take longer since it backs up all your selected files and will hold more data. Again, how much data you have will determine how long. If you have 2GB or less of data the backup should take less than one hour. During this time you may notice a slow down in computer performance. So, you may want to schedule this during a time when you are not using your computer.
