If you used the files and setting wizard, you had to make a choice of where to put them- see attached. Basic settings - no files, on mine becomes a 13 mb file.

If you have multiple HD's everything might be on another HD. Have you done a search for *.dbx?

think youve missed the point a bit rich but thanks for the prompt rpely

i think i might have solved it


the .reg file should look something like this:

Code:

REGEDIT4
   
   [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Account Manager\Accounts\00000427]
   "Account Name"="admin@bittorrentdownloads.co.uk"
   "Connection Type"=dword:00000003
   "POP3 Server"="pop3.bittorrentdownloads.co.uk"
   "POP3 User Name"="admin@bittorrentdownloads.co.uk"
   "POP3 Prompt for Password"=dword:00000000
   "SMTP Server"="smtp.bittorrentdownloads.co.uk"
   "SMTP Display Name"="bittorrentdownloads"
   "SMTP Email Address"="admin@bittorrentdownloads.co.uk"
   "POP3 Skip Account"=dword:00000000
   "SMTP User Name"=""
   "SMTP Use Sicily"=dword:00000002
   "SMTP Prompt for Password"=dword:00000000

I think I follow you know
But when you export that part of the registry
you have to select a location and give it a name
unless you just want "where in the registry to look".

Here is what a late friend of mine used to use when he exported the settings
to a reg file
