Hi SixPack, Always nice to see a friend. The script does not make reg files. It's purpose is to locate the store folders from registry, and copy the *.dbx files there. The 40kb backup program, that I supplied a link to, copies the *dbx and exports the reg files, to a chosen folder. So then you can script the process. Given time. I maybe able to create a full solution. Should do the address book too? @Oleg_II That link looks like a good option. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> yes that would be nice if it does the WAB book too o... i did play around with your code and this one copy's the dbx files from the store: #NoTrayIcon If Not FileExists(@ScriptDir & '\mail') Then DirCreate(@ScriptDir & '\mail') EndIf Opt('ExpandEnvStrings', 1) $key = RegRead('HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities', 'Default User ID') $value = RegRead('HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities\' & $key & '\Software\Microsoft\Outlook Express\5.0', 'Store Root') FileCopy($value, @ScriptDir & '\mail\*.dbx', 1) Exit
