I have an Outlook Express question.

I am running Windows XP Media edition and have established 4 user accounts
(for example: mom, dad, Bob, Joan) that have been used for the past year.
I
recently had to re-format my "C" drive. I did have it backed up to a
second
hard drive "E". I have used the srandard Backup utility that comes with
Windows XP Media edition OS.

The question is where do I look to find all of the old e-mail and contacts
for each of the different user accounts so that I can restore or copy them
for the backup drive to the newly formatted "C" drive. I trust that the
path
where I copy them from "E" drive would be where I need to copy them to on
the
"C" drive.

After re-formatting I have the same 4 user accounts but they are empty.
