Well, I decided to upgrade to Vista for free! Yippe! Yeah, well, before I do that, I want like a "list" or "log" of EVERYTHING on my computer. Is there anything that does that and tells me what apps and stuff I have on my computer? Thanks!

Yes and no. Yes there is a list but no it not compiled for every files because it lack organization and you can get it through Search.
I would start with your Desktop and My Document folder by backing it up.
What outside the Program Files that is ONLY important and that was place there.
Your "file sharing" folders.
Since you putting Windows Vista, you can't backup install software program such as game but you can keep Windows XP as a seperate boot. Not every program can run Windows Vista that are run in Windows XP. This is a notice that you let you know the consequences.
I would make sure that your online game such as Battlefield 2142 information is save such as your username that is used as a login. Once it gone, if you can't figure out your login. If it doesn't send your login username information to your e-mail address then you are stuck without it.

Best advice to you, dont upgrade.
In a few weeks time, you will either spent a fortune upgrading the hardware to make Vista run at speed near XP.

start/run dxdiag
That will give you all you need to know. I agree with the other posters though, it'd be best not to upgrade. Vista runs kind'a slow on systems that were designed to use it. On something that wasn't . . . .
