WaW doesn't use profiles the same way, and as yet, have not found a way to do it.

If using Windows XP see sample path below ('Show Hidden Files and folders' must be enabled to see the Application Data folder):

C:\Documents and Settings\your_username\Local Settings\Application Data\Activision\CoDWaW\players\profiles
Replace 'your_username' with the username used to log into your computer.

Can you just backup the players folder and put it back when you have completed reinstalling the game?

I didnt have a problem placing my beta profile on another computer. When I installed the game it loaded up my profiles (my usernames only, not my stats which were at 0). I just placed the info from on computer to the next with 0 problems.

again its just like cod4. You can make a profile backup (copy and paste somewhere) as long as you put it in the same spot.

Should be the same as Vista.

Simply head into your game's install folder, and save the players folder to a floppy, thumb-drive, your cell-phone, or what-ever medium of back-up you so desire. Then replace it once you've formatted.

+1 I agree

If you want to back up just copy & paste it to another location easy as!. its worked fine for me on a reinstall & if your doing an OS install put it on a external sorce then just put back in (C /username/ app data / local / Activison / CODWAW / players / profile (replace)[vista] {need to show hiden files & folders....-> in your folder options}
