Email locations on PC
I have a computer (running ME) that has crashed, and I want to save the
emails (using DOS) before I reinstall Windows. Can anyone tell me the location of the emails? Also, if I reintstall ME on top of the existing installation, will the existing emails be wiped? Geoff

Email locations on PC
The actual location can vary. You can locate the files by starting a
the root and doing DIR /a /s *.DBX For the address book do DIR /a /s *.WAB The data files should survive a reinstall, provided you don't reformat the hard disk. Note that some PC manufacturer restore CDs do reformat. So doing a back up first is a good idea. -- Mike - http://pages.prodigy.net/michael_santovec/techhelp.htm "Geoff Cox" wrote in message ...
