My system has slowed to a crawl and I want to reinstall XP and clean out the
junk that has accumulated. With 9x, I would just delete the Windows and
Program Files directories and re-run setup.exe. Can this be done with XP?
I have an OEM version and I want to keep everything in the My Documents
folder.

Thanks
 
I think it would be alot easier if you just backed up everything in the my
docs folder and did a fresh install. When ever ive done a repair or
reinstall of windows XP, about 99% of the time it wiped everything out.
 
Does a fresh install delete everything? In my My Documents folder I have to
use 30+ cd's to back everything up. Can't XP be reinstalled like 9x where
the only folders that need to be deleted and reinstalled are the Windows and
Program Files folders?
