LLXX Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 (edited) Copy all its files and registry keys. Older programs tend to be less intrusive in terms of registry keys, and they may only require the files in its own directory.Also is there a way to make a list of all the websites i have autologon info for?I'm a member of about 20 sites where i have unique logon info like msfn.org that I know i wont be able to get into or even remember i'm a part of after i reinstall.Copy all your cookies too.
