Thanks a lot to all who replied. Sorry I should've mentioned that I'm using
Skype 1.1.0.79 and saved you guessing. If I take Doris's advice and save the
Skype settings files, I assume that all I would need to do after formatting
is to copy them back to the Skype folder in the Application Data folder,
right? I know it's an obvious question, but just to make sure.
Cheers,
I'd also like to rmind that if you're using skype 1.3 or later the contacts are server centralised so it shouldn't matter what PC you use skype and as soon as you logg in your contacts should be there.

you can either save your skype settings folder which is stored in the application data folder of the user name you log in as or you can save your contacts to a .vcf file if you are using skype 1.2.x or later. The option for the latter is found under the tools menu in skype 1.2.x and up.

I'm about to format my hard drive and was wondering, how can I reserve my skype contacts please? Would they appear again when I login with my skype name after formatting my local drive like msn contacts do? I'm not quite sure about this cause it appears that the skype contacts got saved somewhere on the local disk rather on the skype servers.
Thanks for any feedback I may receive.
