Tools Options Maintenance Store folder will reveal the location of
your current Identity's store (http://www.insideoe.com/files/store.htm#storemain). Write it down. In WindowsXP, the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Explorer, you must enable Show Hidden Files and Folders under Start Control Panel Folder Options View. In Explorer, search for .DBX files. Any found which are not located in your current store will most likely be those from your OE5 Identity. You can Import them using FileImportMessages....
