I have to do that. Find your favourites folder in documents and settings and then zip all the files in it. Or download Winace - it does a similar thing - winace is good because it's easy to use and will encrypt files - even encrypt the file name too. It will encrypt the contents of an entire folder. I compressed the whole of documents and setting including my favourites, music,pictures, setting - the lot with winace. I wrote the winace file to my D: drive. I may burn a copy on CD or DVD just to be certain. Do all your contacts in Outlook Express too. Check all your emails - see if any contain info you need to keep. I printed out the key code for my anti virus and firewall. You may want to save your playlists for music player too - but they are probably in documents and settings. Saving all this stuff means burning a CD or DVD - copying it on to a flash drive - USB stick or digital media like SD card - I'll use my MP3 player for saving some stuff. make sure if you use wireless like me you have a copy of the encryption key stored safely too. If you use Winace - keep a copy of that too. Although you can download it again. Don't compress stuff like your encryption key obviously. I bet you forget to back something up! I always do!

In your browser, go to bookmarks, then manage bookmarks. Then go to file and export. it will export of copy of your bookmarks, which you can import one you have formatted your laptop. burn the file on disk with your other work or however your backing up your stuff.

You could burn the whole directory (on MS usually located C:\Windows\Favorites) onto CD then just load it back up when re-formatted and copy/paste into the empty Favorites folder.
