Am I able make a copy of the complete Windows user account; so that when I do
a clean install I can restore the account to its previous state? Is creating
the exact user name and account type sufficient, or is there other
information needed? How do I do this, I am running XP Home Edition on a 32
bit machine.

External hard drive , backup software ( Acronis true image . Macrium
reflect et al ) .

How can I use Windows XP's Files and Settings Transfer Wizard to export my
files and settings?
