Howdy,
I'm backing up some important files, but I don't have any idea where to look
for my Outlook Express files (mail and news, settings, etc.) I used to know,
but I either forgot, or it changed. Anyway, if someone can help me, I'd sure
appreciate it! Thanks a bunch!

An excellent source of information is "Inside Outlook Express" at:
www.tomsterdam.com.

If you prefer:

This is a simple program to back up the following:
Address Book files (.wab)
DBX files (Outlook Express 5.0 and greater)
Registry Entries:
Address Book
All Identities
