    Windows XP does include a basic firewall, but unless you've got Service Pack 2 installed it's not switched on by default.

    Yeah just open an email then File Save as or put then email address on the new PC
    and forward them all at some point but dont click send recieve on yer old PC or
    you will just get them all back again... with me ? (it sounds odd but works well)

    Or get a free yahoo account or gmail account and send
    them all there and retrieve when wanted.. :)

    Cheers intel, think I've got that, think it will be easier to get one of those free email accounts, then send them there as I've quite alot - then I could retrieve them. Can't seem to get the 'Outlook' icon down to the bottom left of the screen, does that make sense, lol.
    On my old PC I just clicked on the outlook icon and it opened it up!

    Ummmmm er I dont quite get that..

    Try right clicking the desktop, Arrange Icons by and then
    untick, Auto Arrange and Untick Align to Grid.

    Then move the Icon, is that what you mean?

    Maybe :confused:
