If you're up to it, you could have exported the registry subkey for TB!,
backed up the TB! directory and account directories. When the machine is
hosed, simply restore the whole jebanks. It would be as if nothing had
happened. I'm using the same installation through three clean OS
installs and have never had the privilege of using <SHIFT><CTRL><ALT><L>
to restore lost folders etc. :-)
If you restore TB! to a new location, ie, partition/directory then
you'll have to tailor the relevant registry entry paths to reflect this.
If you're comfortable with TB!'s registry entries then this is a lot
easier than re-configuring the new installation. If you're not up to
dealing with the registry then <SHIFT><CTRL><ALT><L> it is followed by
user interface reconfiguration.
