Does anyone know if it's possible to recover the addresses and email account settings of Outlook Express from a hard disk that doesn't boot into Windows XP? The partition table is corrupt and I'm using TestDisc to get at the files from a command line.

Normally I'd save the IAF file from OE and the WAB too.

Cheers
 
I know its possible as I've done exactly that before, I dont remember what files you need though, I think most of them are in documents and settings
 
I managed to get the actual inbox etc from Documents and Settings but don't know where the account details are. Thanks for the input though.
 
Account details are in the registry (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Account Manager\Accounts) and (HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-xxxxxxx-xxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx-xxx\Software\Microsoft\Internet Account Manager\Accounts). WAB is just a file on the drive, search for it.
