I'm going to restore my laptop back to the way it was out of the box so I
need to backup my contacts and mail in Windows Mail before I do this, so that
I can restore them when the laptop resinstallation is complete. How do I do
this?

First of all you need to goto Organize/Folder and Search Options then click
on
View and uncheck the box
Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)
This allows you to see the AppData Folder

Go to
C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Mail
UserName is you as a user

and backup the Windows Mail Folder

After installing Vista again just copy the Windows Mail folder folder to the
above location.

If you are using the backup that comes with Vista all this will be taken
care of.
