Transfer of Win.98 Files To Win. XP

[Charles Harkness]

I have been using a computer running Windows 98 for several years and have
just purchased a new computer running Windows XP. I new there were a lot of
changes, but I am having some trouble transferring some files from my old
computer to the new one. I am assuming that the Win. 98 files are compatible
with Win. XP. I am looking for the file location in XP for email messages,
favorites, address book, cookies, stationary, etc. Most of these files are
in the Windows Directory in Win. 98, but I can's find them in Win. XP. I
have done a search on several user groups and did not fine one reference to
this problem. Any help would be appreciated.

most of the files you mentioned are in your 'C:\Documents and Settings'
folder. then click on your personal folder and make sure you can view hidden
folders by choosing 'folder options' in windows explorer, then clicking the
'view' tab, then checking 'show hidden files & folders'. when you do a
search remember to check the 'advanced options' and check the first 3
options. this should find your e-mail files.
