I'm going to install WIN XP SP2 on my boot disk, C:, & need to know what I need to do to save all my OE settings. I currently have my OE store on D: and copy of Address Book on a Flash Drive. -- Thanks, Bill Post replies back to News Group

Saving OE Settings
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. -- Thanks, Bill Post replies back to News Group "Bruce Hagen" wrote in message ...

Saving OE Settings
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): http://www.oehelp.com/OEBackup/Default.aspx I'm sure someone else can fill in the gaps more than I. Keep checking back. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Outlook Express ~IB-CA~ "Willy" wrote in message ... Bruce, I created your suggested Folder structure on my storage, D:. hard drive.

it again. -- Thanks, Bill Post replies back to News Group "Bruce Hagen" wrote in message ...

Saving OE Settings
You create your own folder. I created one in My Doc's and named it OEQB.
the instructions are fairly easy to follow. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Outlook Express ~IB-CA~ "Willy" wrote in message ... Bruce, I'm trying OEQB but it's asking me for a backup folder to bu to.
