Thanks Olorin. I did get somewhere, although I thought the details on
Leonard's link seemed a bit complicated but at the same time I found a link
on a Microft Help page referring specifically to XP Backup. It appears that
Outlook Express's Email Address Book and Messages are included in the
Documents section if ticked for backup. However, for peace of mind, I shall
trawl through the details to fin it.

That page has the information you need.

Another way to find the Address Book and messages:

For the Address Book, search for this:

*.wab

That is,

Start | Search | All Files and Folders

In the box "All or part of the file name", type:

*.wab

Under More Advanced Options, make sure the following are checked:

Search hidden files and folders
Search subfolders

Click Search.

The default location should be:

C:\Documents and Settings\[user name]\Application Data\Microsoft\Address
Book

Regarding messages, all these files have the .dbx extension. So simply
search for

*.dbx

The above being said, I still think you will find value in trawling
through that Web site. :-)
