for reference: if anyone wants to knwo how to do it in firefox:

Bookmarks> Manage Bookmarks (this will bring up a new window)

File> import/export

I import my Explorer bookmarks to yahoo (http://bookmarks.yahoo.com/)

As well as having a backup, it means I've got a version I can use when I'm away from my computer.

(I say import because you go to yahoo bookmarks and click import to get them from your browser)

Another alternative is using WinXP's 'Files and Settings Transfer Wizard'. You can access this via going to help and searching for, "Files and Settings Transfer Wizard". I believe this saves files stored in my documents, settings (I'm guessing wallpaper, screensaver as well), your IE6 favourites & Outlook Express (email) settings.

See M$ article.

After you've reformatted and you're starting again is as good a time as any to change to using mozilla firefox, less popup ads, currently less viruses target it, and tabs ("windows within windows kinda) are a few good reasons to move.
