    Good morning all,

    Just installed new HD due to last one crashed. I can still get into it as a slave. Have pulled all info off I need except, I need to find where all the e-mails were stored. I have a few the have my anti-virus and spyware registration numbers on them the I downloaded off the internet. I need these to re-install. Any info would be great.
    I am running WINDOWS XP HOME and OUTLOOK EXPRESS

    thnaks

    go thru windows explorer not internet explorer. goto tools up top, folder options, view & click on "show hidden files & folders". will now see more files & folders that were hidden ftom you. goto documents & settings\your name\local settings\application data\identities. open the identities folder & all subsequent subfolders til you see all the files containing your email like inbox, outbox & others. will have to import those files by using the import in file in outlook express
