When reinstalling, what files will it overwrite?
I'm pretty sure that if Windows has no "record" of FSX ever being installed (in the registry) that it will therefore act as if it has never been installed and so it will overwrite everything in the FSX folder.

I know it will do fsx.cfg, but I'll run the venetubo to get it back and I can optimise everything.
If you already have an fsx.cfg file located in %AppData%\Microsoft\FSX it will not be overwritten. It is always best to start with an fsx.cfg that is created during the new installation of FSX. And, most importantly, the Bojote's tweaks for your old computer setup, will be very different to the new computer setup, so you definitely should redo it for the new setup.

I do not particularly care for the logbook. Sometimes I just fly because I can. :P
That info was only given in case you wanted to keep a record of your flights. Mine logbook.bin has some 5600 hours of flight simming not including many that have been corrupted and removed when the file became corrupt. Early on, I used to just deleted it and let it build a new one, but now I use a logbook.bin repairer so I only lose a few. I recently lost the record of my 16+ hour flight from YMML to KLAX (CS777-200LR done last Sunday/Monday). S as you can see. I like to keep it.
I hate to think hour much more I would have if I had ALL my records of ALL flights from way back when I started with subLOGIC FS2.x for my Commodore 64 and all the way through to FSX on my current machine. :o
