(This isn't strictly an MS Office question, but I can't think of
another / better place to ask, so I apologize if anyone thinks this
question is off-topic)

I am being downsized, and I have 30 days to clear out my desk.

I've moved my personal email to a special .pst file (Outlook 2003);
I'm also copying my personal files (docs, pdfs, images, sounds &
movies) to several CD-ROMs. Other than my contact list, IE7 favorites
and Firefox bookmarks, are there other files on my PC I should copy
and take with me? I'm also taking a copy of my personnel evaluations,
but other than that, nothing that is work or company-related.

I don't use a newsreader, so there are no newsrc files to worry about.

My condolences on the downsizing.

To bring the thread somewhat on topic, for MS Word you may want to save your
customizations. See http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/FilesToBackup.htm
for a discussion.
