Hi all,

I currently use Outlook Express for my newsgroups and hotmail retrieval. ( I
use Outlook for my regular email).
I am going to be upgrading my computer probably this weekend with new
motherboard, processor, and hard drives.

Isn't there a good program that will allow me to backup all my OE settings
( mail and newsgroup) and just import them into the new fresh install of XP?

Thanks,

Note that if you have an OEM version of WinXP you may not be able to
Activate it on a new motherboard.

No, retail version , new hardware has been installed, activated, updated,
and running great.
Installed new motherboard, X2 processor, video card, ram, and new sata
drives.

Thanks to all for the tips, the FAST wizard worked great in restoring all my
OE settings!!
