I'm not sure whether you can help hun but basically, I have a new (free) lap top and need help with transferring stuff from my old one.

I have borrowed a detachable hard drive to put all my pics and documents on and Andy is doing all the downloading of software. The problem I have is that I want to be able to save and transfer folders from Outlook Express. I'm gonna delete a load of stuff but there are emails I need/want to keep. I also need to transfer my address book.

Someone did this for me before when I swapped from a desk top computer to a lap top but I know it wasn't an easy task and have no idea how it was done!

Can you help?
