Hidden folders
 

Re- Outlook Express 6.0
I have a picture, Dog.bmp, located in my Default Pictures folder.
If I want to add this picture to an Outlook Express Email I cannot use the
‘Browse’ option to follow the path to Default Picture, I can only get as far
as the All Users folder.
Path Is: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\User
Account Pictures\Default Pictures

Re- WindowsXP Pro SP2,
If I try to find ‘Ddog.bmp’ by going to Start,r/click Explore I can still
only get as far as All Users . If I double click here, no Application Data
folder is shown to allow me to proceed to open the next folder..

How can I open this ‘Explore’ path all the way to Default Pictures so that I
can :
Add ‘dog.bmp, to an email by going to OE/ Add picture/ browse, or find
‘dog.bmp’ by going to Start,r/click Explore and get all these hidden
folders to show?
In other words how can I get all the folders to display?

Hidden folders
 

In the future, I would save pictures in a user created folder on your HD,
located in My Documents, but........

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.

And also:

Clear the Temporary Internet Files: In IE | Tools | Internet Options |
Delete Files button. And check the box to Delete Offline content.

Whenever possible, save a picture as a JPG or GIF. A Bitmap uses about 70 to
90% more space.
