outlook express

Hi! I am setting up a new computer, and am wondering how
to transfer old email's and my address book from my old
Outlook express, to my new one. I am unable to do it from
a floppy, It just defaults to the new one? help!

Open OE click on File|Import address book, messages.

1. Copy the WAB file from the floppy to the new machine's hard-drive
(Suggest Desktop for convenience).

2. Right-click on the copy>Properties>Remove the Read Only attribute

3. Open Address Book>File>Import>Address Book (WAB)>point the Import Wizard
to the Desktop, not the file itelf >...

Or use WinXP's helpful FAST Wizard: http://aumha.org/win5/a/fast.htm
