Wish I could help John, as it looks like the key computing wizards are not about at the moment, You could do with Steve, Walwyn or one of the other computing buffs, but these two have helped me on complex computing problems, and I am only a newbie for pc stuff, I do hope they will answer your questions, Nina.

I'm not an Outlook Express user myself (I use the full version). Exactly what steps did you use to create the backup?

I will help if I can.

Maybe this is not on my Version (v6).

Exactly what menu options did you use and in the wizard what (if any) options did you use?

If not what is it called and where did you get it from?

On my machine they go in:

\Windows\Application Data\Identities\{324B4220-1D92-11D3-A091-ED3AB8D0832E}\Microsoft\Outlook Express

There are registry settings that point there in:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities

and HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities\{324B4220-1D92-11D3-A091-ED3AB8D0832E}\Software\Microsoft\Outlook Express\5.0

Walwyn,thank you,it is interesting that all my other folders went into the back up that I had created,but for some unknown reason the personal folder went into applications.
