Backing up HD for reinstall. What have I forgotten?

[charlesr]

I'm backing important stuff up to my laptop for when I do a clean install on my desktop. There's not enough space on the laptop for a clone, so I'm just grabbing the important stuff. What have I forgotten?
So far:
My documents
Favourites
.pst (outlook+archive)
synced palm
Drivers
Downloaded apps that I don't have on CD

Do a search on common file extensions like *.xls, *.doc etc, you may have put them outside of my docs by mistake.

Export your Outlook email account(s). They are not in your your PST.

What I normally do is uninstall everything then go through the drive one folder at a time. Deleting them after I check them.

I normally find loads of stuff that I don't need but like to keep.

Porn. I forgot to back up the porn last time I reformatted.

Or is that too much information?

Thanks dudes. All key settings(porn) transferred across.
