Thanks for that. I'm glad I never store things in OE but copy anything I
want elsewhere as soon as I get it... dunno why, I've always done it.

Dear Linda
1. Starting from your inbox folder, shift tab to the folder list. You
should be focused on your inbox folder entry.
2. Press alt+enter and this will take you into your inbox properties sheet.
3. tab once and you come to a field which tells you where your inbox is
stored on your computer. It is a long path which includes some
unintelligible numbers. Make sure you are at the beginning of the field by
pressing home, then select and copy the entire path.
4. Paste this path into the address bar of windows explorer. Note that this
may seem a bit complicated as there is a drop down box on the address bar
which complicates matters. IMake sure the address bar is switched on in the
view/toolbars menu in windows explorer. Then press F4 to go into the
address bar, press escape to close the drop down menu and then paste in your
inbox path. If none of this works, you may have to laboriously type in the
name of the path into the address bar.
5. Still in the address bar, go to the end of the path by pressing endand
then backspacing until you have removed the final element of the path which
is the inbox name, usually inbox.dbx.
6. Hit enter and this will focus windows explorer on the folder which
contains all your emails. It should be called Outlook express. You can copy
this with alt+c and then paste it to wherever you wish to back up your
emails with control+v.
7. If you are rebuilding the software on your PC, when you are ready to put
back your emails, just reverse the above steps by copying your backup into
the new Outlook Express folder. Remember to find out what it is called by
looking at your inbox properties sheet as described above, in the new
version of Outlook Express as this may change from installation to
installation.
I hope this makes sense. It seems a bit complicated but once you get into
it, you will see what is going on. If you need any help, please get in
touch.
Kind regards ... Scott

Subject: [jaws-uk] Backing up files
Hi
My computer has been crashing quite a lot lately - probably flagging from
the heat like me! So I decided the time had come to get around to backing up
all the files I've carefully squirreled away in Outlook Express folders...
However, it seems this task is not as easy as I thought and I'm a bit
stuck. I've tried copying the files in the usual way and pasting them
straight onto a floppy disk from Windows Explorer, and also tried moving the
files to there as one does between folders in Outlook Express. i.e. by
picking up the files using shift and control plus v...
But still no luck, so can anyone out there tell me how to do it please?
Thanks in advance.
