Well, if you go to the web page http://www.winxpnews.com/?id=45 it will tell you how to save your IE data folders and addresses, but it only tells you half way. It is supposed to be continued in Vol 46 or http://www.winxpnews.com/?id=46, but they goofed up and never printed the last half as promised. Nevertheless, there is valuable information there that will tell you what files must be saved and where to find them. Basically, you just take those folders and put them back in the same location after one has reinstalled Windows, and it works. Just be sure to record exactly where they were. I know there are more web sites with the "how to" for saving IE data folders, but this I had this one in my "good stuff" pile.
