Default How do I save old Outlook Express and Favorites before clean install?

To try and fix some functionality problems with a Video editing program, I'm
contemplating doing a clean install of Win98SE. But, I don't want to lose
old messages in Outlook Express and Favorites in Explorer. How do I save
these to be inserted into the new install of Win98SE?

Any other suggestions will be appreciated.

Running a PIII 550mhz, IBM 300PL if it makes a difference.

Thanks for all input.

Do a find on *.dbx and copy all files to your back up medium. Do the same
with the favorites folder. You might want the address book (*.wab) also.
For information on installing W98, go to:
