Outlook Express Wizard, or Manual Transfer?

Has anyone used this, and any comments?:

I sort of hate to use something (if only once) that I am not going to buy
for continued use.

Or, should I go here?

I'm doing a clean install (repartition, etc.) of XPHome from Dell's
reinstall CD on my laptop. My OE has only one identity. If I use the
instructions at insideoutlookexpress, I would make the backup on the
laptop's drive, and then copy to a USB external drive, wipe the laptop
drive, reinstall XP on the laptop drive, and then move the outlook
express backup back from the USB external drive to the laptop.

In the past, I've just saved out (exported) the dbx and address book,
then moved back to the reinstalled Outlook Express on the laptop.

I'm doing this for my daughter, and I don't want to mess up.

Thanks,
Bruce
