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!
