Transferring Outlook Express folders to new user

by mtmk / June 17, 2006 3:45 AM PDT

Hi,

I use a dell laptop running Windows 2000. Until recently, I was a guest on this machine. I now have Administrator rights. I would like to know if I can transfer my outlook express folders and profile from my "guest" account to the Administrator account, or so I have to recreate everything.

Thank you,
mtmk

Type OLEXP BACKUP into google.com and you'll find the Microsoft article on how to backup and restore the email, settings and more.
