Import all settings from recovered HDD
Maybe this can help, - maybe not.

"Steve Cochran" wrote in message ... See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#4 and www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx You cannot import the account information, as that is stored in the registry, which is not easily accessible. So you need to search for *.dbx (the files are hidden) on the old drive and then when you find the directory of dbx files, then go to File | Import | Messages in OE and point to that directory. That will get the messages back, but you will have to set up the accounts anew. steve "PA Bear [MS MVP]" wrote in message ...

I would like to import all my OE6 mail and accounts settings from the recovered HDD onto OE6 on the other PC. Can anyone point me at a link that documents that process please. All my searches so far (which I admit have been hasty) are pointing at slightly different processes. Thanks for any help. Bill |

Import all settings from recovered HDD
Thanks Steve, and for the other post. Had seen that method but am a bit
nervous about messing with the registry. Something about having to unload it too!! "Steve Cochran" wrote in message ... You can do a File | Load Hive in Regedit on the old NTUSER.DAT for that particular user and then get to the appropriate registry keys (see www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx) and then export them and modify them in Notepad to match the current system and then merge those, which would give you the account parameters, but it won't give you the passwords back. You might be able to use PassSniff (search for something like that, its free, but I forget the URL and exact name) to retrieve the passwords. steve "bill" wrote in message ...
