I am changing from W2K to XP Pro. I have a new HD and have done a fresh
install (the old W2K system had much junk having been upgraded from W95,
W98, W2k) I have just coppied address book, mail messages, message rules,
mail / news account, favourits from w2000 to new XP Pro system.

Where is the dial up account info held on W2K and XP Pro? This is the only
info I need to copy accross to complete the changover.

Thanks

I found it on my last system that used DUN, by searching for "*.pbk".

If that doesn't help, get and run Filemon.

With Filemon running and watching the DUN setup wizard, change a DUN setting.
Watch what file gets updated, and there it is.

Yes I found the .pbk files. There are two. One for the default connection
and another for all other non default dun connections. There is also
something in the registry at hkey_current_user\remoteaccess\

Do you or does anyone else know where the list of subscribed news groups are
located?

Thanks
