I use MSN Mail and I’m worried about backing up my email files

Your MSN Mail is hidden away deep in the program settings. To find it, click on start and then either run (Windows XP) or Search (Windows Vista) and type the following:

C:\Documents and Settings\

You’ll get a list of users on the computer. One of those will be your profile name. If you aren’t sure which one it is then note all of them.

Again, click run or search and type. “your_user_name” will be what you found in the previous step. If you aren’t sure which one it was, use each one until it works.

C:\Documents and Settings\your_user_name\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\MSN\

When it does work, you’ll see a folder called “DB” which contains your email. Copy it to a flash drive, removable hard drive or anther computer.
