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 |

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 ...
