My friend has a computer that won't boot up (corrupted files). We are going to use their recovery CDs to reload the software. He uses Outlook Express for email. We don't want to lose his email and address book. So, is there a way to save those items without using Outlook Express?

...following those instructions would require using the Outlook Express menus which I obviously can't do. I can work my way through the file structure with the aid of that article to find the email data location but I was also hoping to get the Address Book and the mail settings which if I could use the menus would be a piece of cake. Can you tell me how I can find and capture those items?
