PC Format/Reset question

[Big Sig]

Right, my laptop is getting so slow its nearly quicker for me to go and get the website myself and bring it too the computer!

I have backed up all of my data onto a couple of DVD's, but I don't want to lose my fave web sites. Does anyone know what file the bookmarks/favourite website's info is kept in? whats its location? can they be backed up and then reinstalled after my reset/HD wipe? Also, is there any useful files that I should also back up first?

Thanks all

Favorites, open My Docs and the folder is in there.

Go through My Comp, C:, users, it's the folder with a star on it.
