Keep your files in "My Documents" (and any other default media folders like movies and pictures; or on a separate drive) and you won't lose shit other than installed programs when you re-install Windows.

Same goes for linux if you have /home on a separate partition/disk. That saved my ass more times than i am willing to admit...

Keeping home on a separate disk is the best way to go. A different partition is okay, but a different drive is even better.
