[access-uk] Re: Files and folders management

Hi Marie.



Below are the steps in backing-up your Outlook Express folders and sub-folders.I got this information from a podcast on the Blind Cool Tech list, compiled by an English guy called Christian Kwhawell.



Step One.



1 Create a folder on your Desk-top and call it O E Backup.

2 If you don't know how to do this, Do a Windows Key plus D to get to the desk-top.

3 Press the Applications Key and select new folder.

Give this a name like OE Back-up.



Step Two.



1 Launch Windows Explorer with Windows Key plus E.

2 Do an Alt T for Tools.

3 Arrow up to Folder Options and press Enter.

4 Do a Control V to get to the View dialogue box.

5 Arrow down to Hidden Files and Folders and make sure that the Radio Button labelled Show Hidden files and Folders on is ticked.

6 Tab once to Okay and press enter.



Step Three.



1 Hold down the Windows Key and R for Run.

2 Type in Favorites - Check American spelling - Press Enter.

3 Press the Back Delete button once.

4 Press L for Local Settings and press Enter.

5 Arrow Down to Application Data and press Enter.

6 Arrow Down to Identities and press Enter.



You will land on a document with a title like this

{88211156-4518-46D2-9782-BF291C0EAD00} .  Press Enter.



7 Arrow Down to Microsoft and press Enter.

8 Arrow down to Outlook Express and press Enter.



You will land in a directory full of files like In-Box, Sent Items, Deleted Items etc. There are files in here with extensions of DBX. These are compressed database type files which hold all your Outlook Express details.



9 Do a Control A to copy all of the files into your Clip-Board.



Step Four.



1 Do a Windows Key plus D to get to the Desk-Top.

2 Arrow down to the folder you previously created, titled O E Back-Up, and press Enter to open it.



2 Do a Control V to empty the contents of your Clip-Board into the folder.



That's it! All done. You can now save this folder onto a CD, or leave it on your Desk-Top to copy back afterwards, if you loose any of your Outlook Express folders.





Hope you find this as useful as I did.



Best wishes.



Andy

Subject: [access-uk] Files and folders management


Twice now, outlook express has decided to delete all the messages I had save in folders created in the application itself.
So, I've created dedicated folders in my documents where I planned to save all the tips and tricks I gather from this list and the others I belong to.
The problem is that I can't find the way to select these folders to save in. The only option I get is to save in my documents.
It must be easy as pie when you know how, can someone help with step by step instructions please? I can then save these in the appropriate folder and can refer to it when needed and hope that it, and all the data I'll save there will remain there.

Thanks in advance for any reply, using xp home and JFW7

Marie
