Alternately, most games save their games in a separate directory you can 
just back out and then restore after reloading. (I'm not sure about 
Steam games, mind.) That's generally what I do when I uninstall a game I 
wasn't planning on replaying soon.  Vista theoretically makes this 
easier, as I understand it has a specific directory for game saves, 
altho I can't say as how I expect Vista to have managed to put all the 
files there for older games.
