really the only thing you need to backup would be your  documents, and if they are important to you, game saves. Anything else can be reinstalled from the install discs.

you could also backup the installers for programs you've downloaded, if any.

I cant uninstall Flash 9. its in my backup folder. I tried looking for an uninstaller but it only uninstalled Flash 10. I even got rid of the flash ocx and xpt file in firefox. I still cant get rid of that darn flash9f.ocx file. it always says cannot delete flash9f.ocx: access is denied. I dont understand. I dont even have any applications running when I try to delete it. I tried clicking on the uninstall_activex file but that did nothing. I even tried running a program called Killbox.
