Then go back in to address book on the new user, then go to import>address book(wab) then find the wab file and click open. As for the emails im not quite sure how to backup/export them properly.... best i cn think of is save each email (select email then File>Save As then doubleclick the files in the new user to be opened in outlook / outlook express and drag them into a outlook folder i guess... as for the files and folders, you can either use windows backup feature (Start/All Programs/Accessories/System Tools/Backup) then go to backup in the new user and restore the backup file from wherever you saved it. Or you can simply copy your files and favorites, folders etc... My docs and favs are generally located in the following path *:\Documents and settings\<user>\ if u wanna gt really stick there is a way you can actually copy the whole application data folders (*:\Docs and settings\<user>\Application data and (*:\docs and settings\<user>\Local settings\application data\ to the new user and actually replace them, but agaoin is is tricky and im not sure if it still works.... havnt done it in a while lol :p	jareemon (5207)
