Where are those files?

[Gray@FA]

I'm trying to do a manual backup of OE.

Since I've been using OE alot lately for VR1 newsgroups, as well as this
one, I need to find all the newsgroup information as well as the mail /
folders and email locations. Are they all in the same place?

Between 8 VR1 groups and almost a dozen Microsoft groups, I really need to
get this backup done.

Any help appreciated.

The dbx files are stored here:

C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local
Settings\Application

soft\Outlook Express

Hi, Gray.

In OE, click Tools | Options... | Maintenance | Store Folder. This will
tell you where YOUR .dbx files are. They may or may not be in the default
location on YOUR computer.

Then, with OE closed, use normal Windows techniques to backup your files, or
simply copy (or Xcopy) them to a backup location.
