A friend has just bought a new computer but unfortunately the hard drive in his old PC has crashed before he took delivery of the new one (missed out by 8 hours). Anyway he can't access Outlook Express on the old PC so can't export address book and copy emails he needs. Does anyone know what files to copy over to the new PC to reinstate address book etc. Can this be done? Can the emails be copied like this? I don't use Outlook so I don't know.
Thank

The easiest way to achieve what you want is to copy the C:\windows\application data folder over, by default this folder contains your address book and all of your mail and Outlook express's settings.
You can then use outlook express on your new machine to import your address book and mail back.
