I have to dive into the abyss and reformat my computer. I have copied everything out of my documents and settings folder (bookmarks, jobs, porn, mp3s, cookies, outlook .pst file) to an external drive. is there anything else i should copy over? win xp. i hate that sinking feeling when you remember you forgot something
thanks

microsoft user data on a mac is where all your emails (amongst other things) are stored if you use entourage and, i suspect, if you use outlook too perhaps(?)
