In the Windows Backup Wizard, the first option is "Backup Files and
Settings". Does this backup include the "System State" or is it only My
Documents, bookmarks, cookies, etc.?

Thanks.

Never mind...this should take care of it"

Go to: START > PROGRAMS > ACCESSORIES > SYSTEM TOOLS > BACKUP. The
wizard will launch, click next.

Choose BACKUP FILES AND SETTINGS. Click next.
Choose LET ME CHOOSE WHAT TO BACKUP. Click next.
Expand the section for MY COMPUTER (click the plus sign next to it) and
place a check mark in the box next to SYSTEM STATE DATA.
Expand the C drive.
Expand DOCUMENTS and SETTINGS, Expand YOUR NAME, Check FAVORITES, Check
My DOCUMENTS, Expand LOCAL SETTINGS then APPLICATION DATA, Check the
IDENTITIES box, Click next.

Now choose a place to store the info and name it. Click next.
At the next screen, most users should just click next. Advanced may want
to choose a different type of backup by using the advanced tab.
