You could export the Registry keys as described in

: Well, I should have paid more attention to a proper method to backup my
: IE6 stuff. I did in fact save the store folders in the identity files-
: several were there including one for each of several old email
addresses
: and one set up just for newsgroups.
:
: At first I thought I could just drop them all into the freshly
formatted
: hard drive's location for the identities for IE 6- but that didn't
work.
: So, I created new identities, then copied all the files in the old
: identities into the new identity's folder. This worked fine accept for
: the newsgroups.
:
: I had printed out http://www.insideoe.com/backup/ some months ago and
on
: that print out I see that newsgroups can't be imported. I see that
: currently at that URL, a new clone method is available.
:
: So, yuh, when I tried copying newsgroup files from that identity into a
: new identify, the appeared to copy over, at first, but can't be seen in
: the new identify, then they vanish from the window showing the files in
: the new identity.
:
: At this point, is there any easy way to restore my long list of
: newsgroups? It's not that big a deal, I can simply resubscribe one at a
: time, but I had subscribed to several dozen.
