How to manually move store location?

Hi,

I have a situation where I need to manually change the Store location for my
Outlook Express files. My OS (Win XP Home) crashed on me but I'n still able
to access the folders and files on that drive via a second drive on my
system. With a working OS on that drive I'm unable to open OE to
automatically change the Store location of my identities. Is there a
fool-proof way to change the Store locations manually so i can restore all of
my OE settings to another drive? Thanks in advance for any help with this.

Bruce,

Thanks for your reply. As I said in my original message the OS on the drive
with all of the settings, files, etc. I want to transfer is damaged and will
not boot. I'm only able to see the files and folders on that drive using
explorer on my secondary drive that the OS is good on. I'm unable to open OE
on the bad drive. Is there a really good tutorial somewhere that you're aware
of that explains in detail how to manually (not using Outlook Express) backup
and restore all of your Outlook Express settings, address book, etc? Thanks
again for your help with this.

If you want to backup and restore everything including your settings, you
need to be able to get into the registry.

Backing up and Cloning your OE Identities:
http://www.insideoe.com/backup/clone.htm

If all you need is the messages and can see the old message store folder


Right click on the Outlook Express folder, (Message Store), and Send To any
place easy for you and copy this to CD or flash. Copy it to the new HDD and
remove the Read Only attribute. Open OE: File | Import | Messages. Select
Microsoft Outlook Express 6 and Import from an OE6 Store Directory and point
to where you saved it.

Back up the entire OE folder. If you just back up selected dbx files, you
will end up doing a lot of work to get them into the new OE.
