Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store Folder will reveal the location of
your Outlook Express files. Press the Tab key to highlight the folder
location, then Ctrl+C. Close OE, then Start | Run | Ctrl+V will put the
location in the box - Click OK and you'll see the OE files. Otherwise, write
the location down and navigate to it in Windows Explorer.

In WinXP, Win2K & Win2K3, the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default
marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable
Show Hidden Files and Folders under Start | Control Panel | Folder Options
Icon | View, or in Windows Explorer | Tools | Folder Options | View.

If I search of *.dbx files (Win XP SP2) the search finds them just fine.
The path looks like this:

C:\Documents and Settings\Bobbi\Local Settings\Application
Data\Identities\{4E3.....A2CB}\Microsoft\Outlook Express

But when I try to drill down to the OE folder in Windows Explorer, I can't
get past the {4E3....} directory. The view shows that it has no
subfolders.

How can get into the Outlook Express folder?
