I had made a back-up for my OE6 yesterday by doing:
Making a new folder in my non-system drive called "My OE Identity" which
contains 3 sub-folders in it: ADDRESS BOOK|MESSAGE STORE|REGISTRY.
I formatted my system drive and re-installed my XP SP2 today.
The question is: How Do I put all the backed up files back to the newly
installed OE6 on the system drive??
Help will be most appreciated.
Thanks

See this link for help with backup/restore. If you did not save all of the
dbx files required, you may be out of luck, but review the info at the link
for what you *should* have done to ensure a successful backup/restore
operation:
