Backing up again

My computer is due for a re-format. I want Windows to be all shiny & new (and fast again). I don't do this often enough to remember how to backup my outlook express files so I am forced to re-learn it every time. This time I'm going to blog it so that I can just comeback and look here next time.

So here is what I do.
Do a search for .dbx - don't forget to search hidden files because that's where they are. Copy these to a disc. Once the computer is re-formatted and all is well, search for the folder that the now new .dbx files are in & replace them with the ones I backed up.

That's it...I think, I'll update this if I'm wrong.
