My 4 year old Dell Dimension running Microsoft ME failed had to boot. I
became very concerned that I had lost my many files & documents, so I created
a new folder on the same hard drive, and in which I installed Windows-XP
Professional. The files were also converted from FAT32 to NTFS file system.

The system now boots beautifully, and I was able to recover all my files &
documents. However, I have not been able to locate my e-mails nor my address
book with all my contacts.

I unfortunately had not taken the time to save them to a specific folder,
but I thought that by re-configuering Outlook Express, that they would
'emerge from somewhere'

Any ideas as to where on the hard drive these files could be located?

Any suggestions would be greately appreciated.

Thanks.
