I have no idea what my daughter did to her PC, but all her settings are lost,
including her internet connection. All of her email and address book in
Outlook Express are gone. I reestablished her internet connection and am
running a virus scan now.

If I do a system restore to yesterday's restore point will that bring her
settings and emails back?
 
Try it and find out. No I'm not trying to be a smart a$$ but nobody can tell
you yes or no try it and find out.

Settings? Possibly. OE data? Nope.

Thanks for the help :-) It worked. I didn't know if all of that was saved
by restore.

If the OE data is back, it hadn't gone missing to begin with.
