How to back up and restore MSN accounts

September 18, 2008

I am planning on starting a new PC build and will be re-installing XP Home

from scratch - it was starting to get a bit clogged and slow.

I am fairly sure how to backup all the things I need, but I was not sure

what to do about my kid's MSN accounts.

What do I need to backup so that I can restore everthing once I have

installed the latest MSN Messenger on the new machine.

Thanks.

I would install everything from scratch. I would hope that you already

have your most important file folders on a several CDs. Often it is the

case that you find out how many useless and/or un-needed programs you

have had clogging up the works. This also gives you the chance to verify

any passwords and/or usernames that you use and need to write down for

safe keeping as a PC is NOT the place to safe keep important

information.
