Saving Information in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Hello, this weekend I plan on doing some upgrade on my PC, and at the same time, doing a clean install of Win98se. What is the best way to save Component Manager, everything else within it, I'd like to do a fresh download for, the artwork thats been downloaded can be saved to a CD. Just how much of Object Desktop do I need to save, I did ask this at the Stardock news group, but a to large a portion of it, I did not understand. Thank you.
