Hey, before I reformat my hard drive, whats the best way to save all my stuff thats on there now? (Music, documents, programs, etc...) Also, how do I save my Firefox layout, I love how its set up, and I hate having to redo it everytime (Toolbars, bookmarks...)

Thanks,
Derek
 
Why not put all your data on a DVD or second hard drive? Im not sure about furefox since i dont have it, but is there an option to save the settings?
 
I'm not sure, I'll go check. But I guess I am just going to put it on blank DVD's, hopefull programs go on there fine.
 
You'll have to physically go into the settings files/folders in the program folders on your hard drive. Then just transfer the folder back over when you reload everything. Let me see if I can find it real quick a second...

EDIT: If you're using any extensions or custom skins, you will have to just remember what they are and install them once you are done. As for your bookmarks and toolbars, they are located on you drive here... C://Documents and Settings/*your account name*/Application Data/Mozilla/Firefox/profiles/rcpr17vg.default Then you just copy the bookmarks file that is in that window (not in the backup folder), and just copy it back over when you have reinstalled the program. Hope this helps! Oh, and BTW I hope that you are talking about the installer programs, because programs will not copy over without the proper registry entry...
