    Re-install questions

    Got a new hard drive, but I still have all my old data on the previous drive as a slave.

    1. Where is the address book for Outlook Express kept, so that I can import it into my new setup?

    2. Likewise, where are the inbox, sent box, etc. so I don't lose all my old mail.

    3. On the same order, where are all the old login names and passwords?

    4. Awhile back, there were a couple of tweaks posted in reply to a post concerning how to reduce the long 2-min delay before the boot process completes. I used it and it cut my boot time to about 15 seconds. Anybody remember or know what they were?

    Thanks,

    Thanks, Steve, but that article does not apply to XP, and there are no files with .wab or .mbx extensions on my old drive.

    XP must call them something else.
