back up and transfer to a new computer

[GW]

We recently reformatted our computers at work. I was
able to follow the instructions that I found in the
knowlege base and save my Outlook Express to a CD and
reinstalled it after we reformatted. We upgraded from
Win98 to XP. Everything went fine, and I threw away the
info. Now my boss wants to do the same thing for his
computer at home and we cannot find the instructions. We
want instructions to back up everything, messages,
folders and address book, to a CD then transfer it to a
new computer. Can you help me find those instructions?
Thank you, GW

This newsgroup is for support of Outlook

97/98/2000/2002/2003 from the Office suite of products. Outlook

Express is actually a separate program despite the similar name.



For help with your OE questions, try an OE newsgroup such as

microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress (for OE 6), or

an OE help website such as http://insideOE.tomsterdam.com. If you're

accessing the Microsoft newsgroups through the MS Product Support

Services "Community Newsgroups" web interface, click

http://communities.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.asp?icp=InternetExplorer

to get to the Internet Explorer groups, then click the plus sign next to

your version of IE to see the link to the Outlook Express group for that

version number. Good luck!
