Backing Up Files On Computer.

Most people know its wise to back up those items onto a CD-ROM or onto storage space somewhere on the web, but what are some of the other things you should be backing up?Do you allow cookies to be stored on your computer to remember your login information for websites that you visit a lot?
Then you also need to find the "cookies" folder on your computer and back that up as well. In Windows 98 its in C:\windows\cookies.
In Windows XP, its in C:\documents and settings\username\cookies.
Do you know all of your passwords by heart? Do you use a program to manage passwords? If you use a program, find it, probably in program files, and back up the files inside that folder that related to your saved password files.
If you ever have to reinstall that program you can re-add those files into the new folder and have all of your old password files.
If you do not use a program, you need to have a system of recovering those passwords if your computer ever quits on you.
