Default Back-Up Vista Games


I am looking to reformat my hard drive and want to save my game
statistics (freecell, solitaire, mahjong, etc.) on my Vista 64 bit OS on
my laptop. Is there a way I can back up these files, or whatever, so
that I can have the stats put back on my laptop after I reformat it? I
tried to find the answer online, but came up empty.
Thanks!
Obed

The game statistics are stored in
*-C:\Users\[UserName]\AppData\Local\Microsoft Games\[Game]-*, where
[UserName] is your account name and [Game] is the name of the game. Note
that the folder, *-AppData-*, is a hidden folder and in order to be able
to view it you need to do the following. Click the start orb and type
*-folder options-* into the search box. Press *-enter/return-* and the
folder options dialogue will open. Click the *-View-*'tab. Under the
*-Advanced settings:-* section, click to select (ie, check) *-Show
hidden files and folders-*. Click *-OK-* to close the dialogue panel.
For details on how to reset the statistics, see
