    So I plan on doing a fresh install of vista and want to know how i would restore my backed up itunes folder? I know your supposed to keep the whole itunes folder including the library, genius album art work folder but how are you supposed to go about the restoring it? Should I reinstall itunes first then delete the current ones? Or should restore the folder first then install itunes?

    Here's how I do it: install iTunes, then copy my entire My Music folder structure back to the original location. iTunes will start up and immediately have your entire library intact.
