Pretty much as the title says - what files should I save to external hard drive prior to reinstalling XP to fix long-standing problems?

Off the top of my head:
Photos
Music
Movies
Pretty much all content under My Documents
Favourites folder
Drivers for modem

But is there anything I really should save that I'm overlooking??? If anyone has reinstalled XP and thought "I wish I'd saved that..." please post them here!

Cheers,
tdp

Use DriverMax: http://www.innovativ....com/drivermax/ to back up all drivers. DriverMax will let you to reinstall them later.
If you use Mozilla/Thunderbird, use MozBackup: http://mozbackup.jasnapaka.com/ to back up those.
