ADDRESS BOOK
To save names from your Microsoft Address Book, search for and copy the file with the ".wab" extension. This file will load directly through the "Import" function of your new Microsoft Address Book.
OUTLOOK EXPRESS
To save the Inbox, Outbox and other folders from your existing Outlook Express email program:
Search for and copy "dbx" files.
Note: These files will likely be located under "C:\.................\Application Data/Identities/{then a long string of alpha/numeric figures}\Microsoft\Outlook Express". Although they will show up during your search, they may be may be hidden from view when you try to access them through "My Computer". To unhide them go to Tools (at the top of the screen), Folder Options and click on "Show hidden files and folders".
To make them work properly, create a folder of the same name by highlighting "Local Folders" then going to "File, Folder, New" in your new Outlook Express.
Once again go to "C:\.................\Application Data/Identities/{then a long string of alpha/numeric figures}\Microsoft\Outlook Express" in your new program.
Rename each ".dbx" file extension to "bak"
Copy the "dbx" file that you retrieved from your old program into the new program's directory.
Once you have tested to see if everything works, delete the files with the ".bak" extension.
INTERNET EXPLORER
To save Internet Explorer bookmarks, go to File, Import and Exports to start the wizard program. Select "export favorites" to a file. The resulting HTML file can then be directly imported by using this same process (select "import favourites) in your new browser.
