Outlook Express Account Settings Restore

Hi,

I am trying to transfer my old Outlook Express settings to my new PC.

I backed up the account settings from the registry as follows:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Account Manager.

I exported this registry key and to restore I am opening and merging it on the new machine. It says merge was successful but when I open OE the account settings are not there. I have setup my Hotmail account manually btw.

Also I have tried to copy my old OE folders (dbx files) into the new store folder but again they do not show up. I am using the correct folder as when I create a new folder manually in OE I can see that a .dbx folder has been created, but when I copy into this location the folders do not display in OE.

Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Rob.

 

Ok I deleted the following registry keys on my new machine and now I have my account settings back:

|--HKEY_CURRENT_USER
|-----Identities

|--HKEY_CURRENT_USER
|-----Software
|--------Microsoft
|-----------Internet Account Manager

|--HKEY_CURRENT_USER
|-----Software
|--------Microsoft
|-----------Outlook Express

|--HKEY_CURRENT_USER
|-----Software
|--------Microsoft
|-----------WAB
|--------------WAB4

However no folders for the dbx files copied into the store folder?

Any ideas?

Thnaks,

Rob.
