Angry Backing up W98SE/IE6 to CD-RW

About once every 6- 9 months I seem to be forced to reformat my C and reinstall everything. This takes ages as I have lots of little progs I like aswell as particlar desktop prefs, wallpaper, views, single- click etc.. .So (sigh) I try to back-up using the provided software onto a CD-RW. Seems straightforward... name the backup, choose where to back-up, go painstakingly through all the boxes within prog files, docs, favourites etc etc... Reformat C with smug smile, get the basics in, backup...mmm, absolutely nothing has been backed up. All that is restored is empty folder (like various academic references; the folders I had them all in were restored but not the contents).. .Can anyone put me out of my misery? I manage now by directly saving copies of progs, docs etc on the CD but surely I shouldnt need to
