hey, i need to wipe my HD and do a clean install of everything. does anyone know if there's a folder for all you browser bookmarks and where to find it?

are you on a mac or pc?

mac. 10.4.7 safari and firefox.
thx in advance

In Safari, go File>Export Bookmarks. Don't know about Firefox, i don't use it.
Don't forget your Mail at Home>Library>Mail
I usually just copy the folder and then import what I want/need.Also Addresses. Open up Address Book then File>Back Up address book

Oh, please double check those exported files before you wipe your HD just in case. I'm paranoid about that stuff.

anything else come to mind that should be backed up?

um keyboard prefs in apps? For instance, I made a keyboard shortcut in Illy so that Cmd-D placed an image just like in InDesign. Some people do whole sets.
Maybe all your files :P
iTunes, Pictures, iPhoto, etc. any downloads/patches/etc. (I keep forgetting Stuffit and Windows Media Player) IM, etc that you don't want to have to keep downloading from the sites.
I don't know. I'm tired.
