No, that depends on whether you have your harddrive partioned. If you have your operating system on a separate partition by itself, then you can reinstall into that and it will not take your other stuff. Regards chrissy

I would back up your own stuff perhaps onto an external hard drive and then reformat your internal hard drive. It sounds like a lot of fun and headache.

The only way I know of is to reformat and reinstall, which in turn uninstalls Windows. Not sure how you would save program settings since each program's different in terms of where it stores your settings. Most are stored in a part of the registry, but some still use ini or other configuration files to store your settings. So am not sure there. -- Chris Hallsworth e-mail: [email protected] MSN: [email protected] Skype: chrishallsworth7266 Join TAFN by visiting www.tafn.org.uk. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Shannon Burke" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, July 06, 2009 5:58 AM Subject: [Blind-Computing] Save current settings on Windows XP > I'm having to uninstall Windows XP on my current computer due to > operational problems.
