What about the "Files and settings transfer wizard" I've never had a need to use it. Dose it do what one might expect it to do?

Edit: ok it's for moving stuff from one computer to another, not preserve stuff across a clean reinstall on the same machine.


Dang! I hate it when I'm wrong twice. The Settings and Transfer Wizard will support doing a clean install on the same machine.

There is an option to write transferred data to a removable disk, which can then be used after the reinstall to return the info to the new install.

The only gotcha is that the new install has to be the same or newer Service Pack, or the Wizard might not understand the saved data.
