I have 1 2GB Thumb Drive on which I want to backup Favourites/OE/My
Documents. My folders are not that large and the 2GB will be able to take it
all.
How do I backup these folders onto my Thumb Drive?
Thanks

I believe you have left out some details...

However you could copy/paste...
You could SyncToy...
You could setup an actual backup job with a program of your choice...
 
SyncToy...nice. Never noticed it in PowerToys page before, thanks for the
tip!

May I know what other details you need from me.
Thanks

Thanks for your response. Where do I find the Favourites and OE Folders?

...

Having once found the OE folders, I keep a shortcut to them.
On my machine (substitute your own name, and possibly
tweak in other ways):

"C:\Documents and Settings\[myname]\
Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\
{33E9B4E3-7D50-4C66-92F9-3765EAF56A02}\
Microsoft\Outlook Express"
 
You could run the Files & Settings Transfer wizard - I think that copies
things like Outlook/Mail folders/settings, and your internet favourites, as
well as your data files.
