I assume you mean format drive "C:" and reinstall the OS on drive "C:"

The information on the OE account and the location of the OE data is
stored in the User's Registry.

Such as...

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Account Manager
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities

Therefore you need to make sure the user's Registry is backed up.

"C:\Documents and Settings\USER_ACCOUNT\NTUSER.DAT"

The Registry has ALL the information. While it is the more complex, it is the most exact in
making the Restored system the same as the flattened system.
