I have a question.
My wife has downloaded the Messenger emity Icons for her messaging. How can I save them so I can put them back?
Also How can I save my Webshots pictures without having to redownload them?

you could also save the whole folder of that program, and once you install it again, just copy the old files over the new ones - at least the ones you think are essential for customization
