Help with Backing Up/Restoring OE

Comment:
I have to have my system reconfigured but before this is done I need to back up my files and folders - Favorites, music, pictures, etc. The last time I tried this, I was never able to restore my Outlook Express information - letters saved, address book, etc. I am using Windows ME. I am told that this is a common problem for OE. Does anyone have a solution for this? It was suggested I try to find a program that is specifically for backing up and restoring OE, but I have not been able to find one. Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated!
