Thanks for the speedy reply. To be more specific about my problem, I'll
describe it below in more detail.
I have had numerous disk crashes, motherboards nd HDD during the three years
on various computers my office intranet. I have just recently seen the need
to bachup important files on a designated separate network store.
I usually save the entire disk image and later fetch the files I need and
store them to CD/DVD using Drag to Disk. I then install/save those files on
the new C drive containing new copy of the OS when I need them. This is what
I was trying to obtain answers for using the following question:
When a second and subsequent install of outlook is performed, I would like to
retrieve the files generated during the previous install. How is that done?
Can you refer me to a documented procedure?
I'll review your suggestions and try the solutions. If this reply brings
any other thoughts or insights you can share with me, it will be greatly
appreciated.
For instance: How about retreiving Internet Explorer Favorites and other
bookmarks and links as well as Outlook mailboxes and contact lists? I forgot
to ask this in my original question.
Thanks again for your help.

PS:
A revised question would be:
Due to replacing crashed HDDs and OS'es, when a second and subsequent
install of Outlook and Internet Explorer are performed, I would like to
retrieve the files, Favorites, Bookmarks etc., generated during the previous
install then transfer them to the new system with a network backup storage
capability where I can use common files on any computer in a Workgroup. How
is that done?
Can you refer me to a documented procedure?
