| 130444 | 2003-03-24 08:52:00 | A friend at work has carried out a ME to XP upgrade and didn't save his address book for e mail and favorites folder, are they lost forever or do they need to be restored from some where. He is sure he said yes to transfer old files and folders during setup and has some old ME files to prove it. Thank you for any help, john r. |

| 130446 | 2003-03-24 09:12:00 | Do a search for *.wab and note where it is. Open Outlook Express and go file>import>addressbook and point it to where you noted it. You will probably find 2 of them, one from old OE and one for new OE. Check their size and the bigger one will be the one you import. The mail can be done in the sae manner except search for *.dbx. In XP, you may also have to open search files folders>more advanced options (scroll down on opening search)> and tick search system folders & search hidden files and folders. | Pheonix (280) | ||
