I've never used XP but it may be like Windows 2000 and store the Favorites
under the "Documents and Settings" Folder. Drill down under your user id
and you will probably see a Folder named "Favorites". If not, select your
"C" drive and do a search for "Favorites" and it should show you everywhere
that is used.
As far as your Outlook data, it is probably stored in another subfolder
under Documents and Settings. Try looking in:
"C:\Documents and Settings\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook"
You are looking for the file named "outlook.pst". If you don't find it,
perform a search as mentioned above for "outlook.pst".
If you have to reinstall Windows, be sure that you place these files and
folders back in the EXACT same location or Windows will not be able to find
them.

Hi Terry and everyone who has tried to tell us how to save our favorites. I
have WIN XP and there isn't any folder named "favorites" in Windows.
I have searched and have never found any trace of either my favorites, email
or email addresses.
My machine regularly gets corrupted files and goes haywire. Then I have to
re-install windows and as a consequence I always lose my emails, email
addresses and also my surfing favorites. If anyone can tell me how to save
these three items and reinstall them after a new Windows install I would
really be grateful.
I have another hard drive to save them on so space isn't a problem as if it
would be using a floppy.
Mike, I'm sorry to post this but it sort of applies to CS because many of
the list emails are important to me and I hate to lose them. So, maybe this
on topic in a slewed manner.
Thanks to everyone that helps me on this one. You can reply to me off list
so we don't bother those folks who have Macs :-)
