Basically my computers running ridiculously slow so im going to completely reboot it.

I'm using windows XP and im trying to back everything up but i can't find the folder which contains my emails (outlook express) and the favourites folder if it exists. Anyone know where they would be as its driving me crazy?

From the Outlook Express menu select Tools | Options | Maintenance and click the StoreFolder button. You see a dialog with the name of the directory that has your mail files. If you look in that directory you find files named after your mail folders and news groups. They all have a .DBX suffix. Outlook Express keeps all messages in these database files. If you make copies of these files regularly, you'll have a safe backup of your OE mail.

 

Restore (if necessary): To restore the backup data, just copy it back to the directory. You can selectively restore folders by just copying specific files back. Alternatively, you can use OE's File | Import | Messages feature to import one or more of the backup folders. Email Account Settings

 

C:\Documents and Settings\username\Favorites <--- IE's favs possibly
