All the e-mail for full Outlook..including all your see in your folders..contact list, etc..is stored in a PST file. You can copy it manually...or do through an export function.

Default location is a hidden folder such as C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook

Another easy way of doing so is to use the Outlook 2003 Add-in: Personal Folders Backup (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=8b081f3a-b7d0-4b16-b8af-5a6322f4fd01).

You can backup and restore your WPA files if reinstalling XP on the same system (hardware). It's 2x files, wpa.bak and wpa.dbl..that live in the %systemroot%\system32 directory

Copy them to something like a floppy, USB drive, second partition, etc

Then on the new install, reboot into safe mode, rename existing files, and copy these two into the same location.

However...even though that only takes a few seconds...I find it takes even less effort simply to register the OS again.
