Copy the favorites folder to floppy. Under documents and settings - your
username - favorites. Then after reinstalling log on and copy the contents
of the favorite into the new favorites folder created under your username.

and all my emails, in order to have them available in the new
installatioin of win xp ??

Outlook? You are going to want to export them to a .pst file then after the
reinstall and set up of your email account, import them into the new
account. Search help for export to .pst.

easier option - in IE go to File-Import and Export-Export favorites to a
file. In new installation, do the opposite.

after the reinstall and set up of your email account, import them

No. If Outlook is being used as a standalone mail client then the data
already IS in a pst file. Just copy it.
 
I haven't touched it in a while, but doesn't the files and settings transfer
wizard do all this easily? Or the USMT for domain members?
