It's not my program, or instructions, but it should already be set to save
as a *.reg file and just have to be named as far as I know.

I tried to reproduce your situation, but I'm only using one drive. That
shouldn't make a difference, but I'm not sure.

I use OEQB as a backup of everything in OE, so I have never had to do what
you are now.

I can only guess that you replace "*"? with a name. A normal export has the
name field blank waiting for you to enter a name of your choosing.

My tool of choice:

Outlook Express Quick Backup (OEQB):

I'm sure someone else can fill in the gaps more than I. Keep checking back.

Bruce,
I created your suggested Folder structure on my storage, D:. hard drive.
All went well until I got to your Backup instructions Step 1. You say
export 4 keys as *.reg files in the Registry Keys Folder. I can't get
this
step to work. Do I put a name or something in the place of the "*"? Do I
export the last entry for each key you list? Explain the step a little
clearer for me please.
