If you need to re-install Windows, or move your Outlook profile to a different computer, then you would want to backup all your Outlook 2007 profile and settings into one place first. Here’s how.

Close Outlook 2007 first before proceeding any further.

Backup settings for Windows XP/NT users:

1. Run the following command in Start -> Run:

   %USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\

2. Copy the folder called Outlook.
3. Now run the following command:

   %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\

4. Again, copy the folder Outlook.
5. Now open Regedit [Start -> Run -> type regedit].
6. Navigate to the following key:

   HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows
   Messaging Subsystem\Profiles\

7. Here you would see a key called “Outlook” or the name of your profile used in Outlook. For me, it was “Outlook”.
8. Right-click on it. Click on Export. Save it under a name in a safe place, mostly other than the operating system’s drive so that you don’t lose the file when it is formatted.
9. That’s it!

Restoring the backups is as simple as pasting everything you backed up into the same folders once the reinstallation is done.

For Windows Vista users:

1. Run the following command in Start -> Run:

   %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\

2. Copy the folder called Outlook and paste it in a safe location.
3. Now run the following command:

   %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft

4. Again, copy the folder called Outlook and paste it in a safe location.
5. That’s it!

Restoring the backups is as simple as pasting everything you backed up into the same folders once the reinstallation is done.

We at Harmless Geek feel that this is a tool that every Twitter user should make use of. It’s _the_ Twitter tool, IHGO.

How does backing up the tweets of your followers, your friends, your favorites, your own tweets, or _everything_ sound to you? It sure as hell made us jump up and take notice.

Tweetake lets you take a backup of everything you ever did on Twitter (yes, including that very humiliating tweet you made last summer). It can even backup your private timeline (like mine), unlike many other Tweet Backup tools. It does so by using the Twitter API in conjunction with your username/password, and then provides you with a .CSV format of the backup.

Quite convenient, eh? We think so too! =)
