Where does Outlook Express store your mail??

Title says it all. I need to backup my address book and other info that Outlook saves like inbox and sent mail. My system needs to be stripped and a fresh install of windows is in order but I don't want to loose all my settings and files in Outlook. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Tools>options>Maintenance click on Store folder , this will tell you where it is.

Tip: you can store your folder on a separate drive,this way after you format you just point outlook express to where it is & you can use it again.
 
Thanks guys. I hate to be ignorant but I have always used Juno until a couple of weeks ago when I got cable so it's time to learn everything all over again.
 
Budman is the man. Thanks, that makes everything easy. Now I never have to worry again since all my data is saved on a seperate physical HD.
