Backing up AOL Favourites, E-Mail, etc

Hi there,

As some of you know, I am re-formatting a friends PC and need to re-install AOL. (I know it's a terrible ISP but that's what I've got to deal with).

Anyway, I'm finding out that backing stuff up through AOL is not straight forward.

I need to make a backup of the address book, stored E-mails, and website favourites so they can be re-installed once things are back up and running.
The E-mails and address book in particular need to be kept.

Has anyone tried to back this up ? If so how is it done.
If only it was like most browsers / E-mail software,but No, it has to be fussy !

Thanks to anyone that can help me out.

Are there any clues on the AOL sites themselves?

Just to let anyone know who is in the same situation, the following method worked to backup all AOL settings

(E-mail, Favourites, etc):
