Ok have a machine that won't boot but can access the hard drive via dos.
(running ME)

In the event I need (and remember as a last resort so I am indeed
troubleshooting) to reformat is there a way to save the mail and address
book that was in Outlook Express 6. I know there are more files than just
the .pst and .pab. How would I go about doing this?

PS. It's not my machine so I don't know where the data was told to be saved
(i.e. what folder) but I'm thinking it is probably wherever Outlook wants
to be the data files by default.

This newsgroup is for support of Outlook 97, 98, 2000, 2002 & 2003 from the
Office
family for Intel PCs. For Outlook Express (OE) support try posting in one of
these newsgroups:
microsoft.public.inetexplorer.ie4.outlookexpress for OE 4.x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie5.outlookexpress for OE 5.x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie55.outlookexpress for OE 5.5x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress for OE 6.x
microsoft.public.internet.mail.mac for the Macintosh version of OE

If those groups aren't carried on the news server that's carrying this group
try using msnews.microsoft.com (MS's public news server that's the source
for all the microsoft.public newsgroups).

Also a good source of Outlook Express info can be found here:

Thanks for the reply Diane.

Epona,
You took all that effort to make sure I realized this was Express versus
Office.

Do yourself a favor, get a life and stop nitpicking.

Ps. I got an answer anyway. :-)

Merry Xmas

Er, it isn't 'nitpicking' - OE is to Outlook what Wordpad is to Word...
