Well perhaps I didn't then. But it's surely a pretty poor show by Microsoft
if you have to go hacking around in your registry just to back up your
emails. Presumably if there's a risk of data loss by copying and pasting dbx
files, there's also a risk of their corruption.
Is there o better way - I mean, could I somehow just get Outlook instaled
onto my xp?
Cheers.
