Copying IE files

[Jeanne]

I have purchased a new computer and would like to transfer
my e-mail, address book and bookmarks from the old computer
to the new one. What files do I copy?

Email for Outlook Express is in several .DBX files in your identity folder. Search for *.dbx and you should find them. Right click
one of them and select Open Containing Folder and you'll have access to them all. You will need to copy and paste them over the new
..DBX files Windows will create. If you backup to CD or another medium that will change the attribute to read only you will need to
correct that or you won't be able to download and save new email.

Adress book has the extension .WAB. With your bookmarks, open IE, click File | Import and Export. Export the favorites to a file
somewhere convenient. And in the new system, import that file back in.
