Click and download the attached .Cab file in that thread.

Put that file onto your phone.

Using your phone, find that file and run it.

Have you got a backup application yet? You need one before you go much further playing with the device.

SPB Backup gets my vote, hands down. Not free, but worth every penny. I've attached the trial version for review and consideration.

or you could try PIM Backup its free... thats what I've been using

fyi just delete .rar in the file name and run it from file explorer on your phone...
change it from PPCPimBackup.exe.rar to PPCPimBackup.exe

Just for clarification at this point for the OP, PIM Backup will backup contacts, appointments, tasks, messages, calls, while a program such as SPB Backup will backup the entire device.
