In a previous Question and Answer session a comment was made which was:
To back up your contacts (address book) in OE, click file->Export->Address book. Tell it where to save the file and have it save it. I am not positive, but i think gmail can import this file so your contacts are shown in GMail.
Favorites are in c:\documents and settings\[username]\Favorites. Note that it is users instead of documents and settings if you are on Vista.
History is in c:\documents and settings\[username]\Local Settings\History. Note that it is users instead of documents and settings if you are on Vista, and note that Local Settings may be a hidden directory that you have to type in the address bar to get to.
I asked these questions and made these comments which were:
When I said that I wanted to backup my contacts in OE, I didn't mean on my computer. (I'm sorry for that info and confusion on my part as I didn't make myself all that clear). What I really meant was, that I have an online account that automatically backs up everything that I do for me automatically as I go along by way of Folders and what's in them. I'm just basicaly wanting to know where it stores those contacts in my address book so that I can let that online account do it for me when I tell it what part of the computer to back up by way of Folders and what's in them. Can you please tell me where that's located and how to get to it?
As for the History, after I go to the Local Settings Folder (which is hidden) I don't see a Folder that's called History, so can you please tell me another way to get to it?
I may be looking the wrong way for them, but the way that I'm looking for them is by way of My Computer, Local Disk (C:) by double clicking the Folders from there at that point. This is how I have to go in to the online account by finding the Folder that it's in so that it will know what part of the computer to back up that I tell it to.
When I type it in the address bar that you mention (assuming that you mean where you type in a web address to go onlie with), that it takes me to links to click on to. Is there another address bar I can type into besides this one that I don't know about?
So based on all of this, can you please answer all of my questions. Thank you!!!
