I agree, you should have all your data either on a different partition or on a second hard drive. @Allen Hart Thanks for your tips!

I came up with a bulletproof solution: 1. Partition your hard drive and put ALL your data on drive D: (or whatever your partition is) 2. Move My Documents to this data partition. Windows has instructions for doing this. 3. Get an external hard drive, USB or Firewire. 4. Set up a Data backup partition on your external drive. 5. Get a folder synchronizer program (I use PowerDesk Pro) and synchronize your on board data with your external drive several times a day. 6. I have even directed Outlook and Outlook Express to store their data on my data partition. Every so often copy your Documents and Settings folder to the external drive to save setups, passwords, bookmarks, templates, etc. BTW, try Acronis True Image for keeping your operating system backed up. It has been a lifesaver for me. Many years ago I had an experience of losing several years worth of financial data, which had to be painstakingly restored. I came up with a bulletproof solution:

Things like pictures, financials, .DOC files, MP3's, etc. You can always reinstall the OS and applications, but these data files will be lost forever if your hard drive crashes.
