How about the internet bookmark pages that I wanted to save as well?

Again, many thanks for your help!

To make a backup of your internet bookmarks just "Export" them to a bookmarks.htm file.

In IE, go to the File menu, select "Import and Export" (I'm still using IE 6 for NMCI), choose Export Favorites, choose your Favorites folder, and then Export to a File (choose Browse, and select your desktop or onto your external hard drive) and select Save.

When you want to restore your bookmarks, just "Import" the bookmarks.htm file into IE or even Firefox.
Pretty easy.......

I know she is using Outlook 2002 - that is why I posted the link to the KB article...

I am pretty sure she is using IE, that's why I gave her the steps to copy the "favorites" from Documents and Settings.
