Hi all.

I've decided to do a reinstall of OS X as I've been pottering around with my new MBP and managed to mess a few things up while figuring out how certain things work (I'm a recent convert to macs)

I'd like to reinstall OS X to wipe a few slates clean (my keychain, iphoto etc) however some things I want to keep as they are (iWeb, iTunes etc). My question is this:

I understand I can Archive and Reinstall (Great Feature!) but am I able to take that one step further and choose exactly what I want backed up and what I want formatted?

I'm a little nervous about starting the process before I know exactly what I want to do.

Thanks for your help.

Everything will be backed up/archived. Hence the name. Your home folder and network settings will be kept in use (unless you uncheck that option). So you will keep your old keychain and iPhoto library. I don't see a problem there though. You can delete stuff out of your keychain with the Keychain program in /Applications/Utilities and you can simply trash your iPhoto library from your Pictures folder.
