| | backing up and further learning Greetings Two questions please 1. If I copy the whole of the WLM Store Folder, would I then be able to just copy it back into place if I were to reinstall Windows, or indeed if I got a new computer could I copy the Store Folder from the existing computer onto the new one? 2. Is there anywhere that has tutorials or whatever to increase learning about WLM. I'm getting on with the basics, and have learned a lot from following questions and solutions in this group, but that's a bit hit and miss. Thanks |

What I like to do is have a complete copy of everything - emails, folders, newsgroup subscriptions, account - and I was picturing a batch file to simply click on at regular intervals to copy all of the WLM folder and subfolders to an external hard disk in case of disk failure or some other need to reinstall. Would that take the account info as well, and even if not, could the .eml files be at least copied back? Thanks again JIP |
