How do I back up a certain file?

I want to back up my outlook informaton before i do some tinkering! I remember it's something to do with a .pst file, but i can't remember what! Tha same applies for my favourites folder and anything else you think i should back up. I have all my drivers safe.

Hello,

The best way to save information from Outlook Express is by copying several files from your hard drive to a backup location, such as a floppy disk. The files you'll want to copy are the WAB and WBX files.

To locate these files, you can either look in the default location of \Windows\Application Data\Microsoft\Address Book, or you can click Start and select Find\Files Or Folders to open the Find: All Files dialog box. In the Named text box on the Name & Location tab, type *.wab *.mbx. The WAB file will have the same name as your Outlook Express username.

There will also be an MBX file for each mail folder in Outlook Express. Once Find locates all the files, copy them to your backup location. Because your Outlook Express address book and messages can change frequently, you should make copies of these files on a regular basis.

Thanks for the previous answer, however I said OUTLOOK not OUTLOOK EXPRESS, so that doesn't really help, but thanks anyway!
