Hi ABCC, backup your home directory completely (it's C:\Documents and Settings\<username> on the usual Windows XP installation) and you'll keep the settings and savegames for most of your games.

There are various that aren't in "Docs&Sets"
E.g. Half Life 2, Doom3, Boiling Point, CoD...

//But in case of GTA it works There is a folder GTA SA User Files (sometin' like this)

Do you mean the settings for BF2 ? There is no singleplayer campaign...
The settings should be in the install directory of the game, som kinda settings.ini, settings.dat, ... or there is a folder called settings...
