privacy.
I promised to send you the next installment, and it's seems
like it will be more beneficial if I break this up even more and give you the
details for Internet
Explorer and Outlook Express now, and I'll send the
info for AOL next time.
So here's the backing up procedure for the favorites list,
cookies list, and the address book, as well as the restore procedure if you
ever need to put this info
back into the Internet Explorer and Outlook Express.
Saving Favorites:
1) Put your formatted floppy disk in the floppy drive, and click on the
Internet Explorer icon to open the program.
2) Go to File, click on import and export, Welcome to the Import/export
wizard box, click Next, click on Export Favorites, and click next. You
will be looking at a list of your favorites, just make sure that the word
"favorites" is highlighted, and click next. This will allow
you to back up ALL of your favorites.
3) You are now at the Destination dialog box, click Browse, click
on 3 1/2 floppy (A:) in the Save In bar, and you will see bookmark just below,
and it will
put bookmark in the File Name. Click Save. and then
click next when you come back to the dialog box. Then click finish.
You're done.
You may repeat this procedure to save "cookies" by choosing export
cookies in Step 2. This is useful to do if you have some
websites that you have joined, like Yahoo, for instance.
To Restore:
1) With the back up floppy in the drive. Click File, import
and export, next, click import favorites.
2) The next box shows, C:\My Documents\bookmark.htm,
click browse, in the Save In bar (click in there) find the 3 1/2 floppy (A:),
and bookmark will show up in the big white box, click on it; that will make it
appear in the File Name bar, click Save.
3) Next dialog box, you'll see A:\bookmark.htm.
and click next. Next box, click next, and finish. You've restored
your favorites. Do the same for Cookies, just choose Import Cookies ( if
you chose to back them up before).
Saving your address book:
1) You can use the same floppy disk, just leave it in.
2) Click on Outlook Express to open it.
3) Next, click on File, export, address book.
When the Address Book Export tool Box pops up, click on Text File, and
click export. Click browse, under Save In, click 3 1/2 floppy (A:),
and in the file name, type address book. You must name this file
or it will not save. Click Save. You're back at the dialog box,
you can see Address book.csv. Click next and finish. You'll see the
lovely blue line go across, and you'll know you have just transferred
something. Click close. You're done!
To Restore:
1) Place back up Floppy disk in the floppy drive, and
open Outlook Express.
2) You're going to click on File, Import, click
on "Other address book" (this is important), and the next box that
pops up, click on text file. click Import.
3) In the look in bar, click browse, find that 3 1/2
floppy again, and click on address book in the big white box, that puts
address book in the file name bar, and click open. File to import shows,
A:/address book.csv., click next, click finish. Click close; your
address book is restored.
I'll get back with you next week on AOL back up. See
you then!
Hope these have been helpful hints for all of you.
