a simple checklist. I omitted some key points this time… sigh… hence, it could be a significant help next time when I cannot tolerate the slow performance.

files

  • Desktop, including shortcuts
  • My Documents. check all the folders, especially the IMs’ default download folders.
  • Miscellaneous, if any

    • browser settings

  • firefox
  • opera
  • flock
  • IE
  • Safari

    • private data in applications

  • QQ# folders
  • itunes music library
  • outlook express emails(if any) and accounts
  • miscellaneous…

    • probablely done on backup. reboot and run ghost in DOS~!
