How can I save my client's settings if they have to reload the program?

I had to load a copy of Access 2000 on to my client's computer. Rather than upload just that app, however, I wound up inadvertantly uploading the entire Microsoft Office suite including Outlook 2000.

This is just a temporary thing that I've done for the sake of a presentation that we're doing. My concern is that her Outlook 2007 is now being "distracted." When you hit "Send / Receive," it would appear as though her settings have been confused and she can't communicate with the internet.

While I would like to think that her problem can easily be solved once I uninstall Office 2000, I wanted to check with the Experts to make sure that I don't make a bad situation worse.

I need to know, first of all, how I can save her folders etc. so if something goes south, I've been able to preseve what she currently has in her Inbox and saved emails. Secondly, I need to know what else I may need to be sensitive to so once I've eliminated Outlook 2000, I can know that her Outlook 2007 is back up and running.

Thanks!

Sweet! Thanks so much!

If she hasn't used Outlook 2000 at all, I don't have to back those up but will the difference be obvious as far as which files in her Documents and Settings folder belong to 2000 and which belong to 2007?
Some of the files names are the same.  Right click the file and select Properties. Check the creation date.
