In light of all the recent computer problems that I've seen, Partition Magic seems to be what everyone needs these days.
It's a small program (that you can probably grab on Kazaa, latest version is 8.something) that splits your hard-drive into chunks. So instead of one huge C drive, you'll have 2 or 3 drives (C, D, E or whatever). That way, only your programs go onto the vital system drive (C), and the rest (fics, personal folders, files, porn) can go on the rest of them, so that when you need to reinstall OS, or if your computer crashes, personal stuff won't be affected. Unless your actual hard-drive crashes, the C drive (and its issues) woon't affect the other drives. It's as if you have two separate hard-drives on the computer.
Unfortunately, bookmarks will still suffer, so I made a separate bookmark folder on my D drive and I just update it every 2 days or so.
Er... more info than you wanted?
By the way: it *was* My Prerogative that I heard. *facepalms*
