I guess you're talking about NT or W98. If so I don't know about any way you can extract the profile from outside the profile. If the computer is to be formatted you just need to backup from within the profile folder the most relevant folders:
I'd say Personal or MyDocuments (depending on the OS), Favorites, Send To if this folder's been customized, Desktop, Application Data (if you have Outlook Personal .pst Files)and maybe some others depending on the software installed.

Hope that gives you a hint.

Talking about hints, have you ever closed any of your questions? You have some open ones going back several months.

A lot of people here devote their free time helping others out...whilst they don't do it for the thanks, it would be nice to appreciate their efforts by acknowledging answers whether they helped you out or not and I'm sure most have been helpful to you.
