i have been backing up my OE using Win Explorer and navigating to the
location where the file is stored; via Doc and Sett\my user name\local
sett\app data\identities\(location: 79E......\Microsoft\Outlook Express.

Now, when I do this, I can't get past the location site(79E.....) - i.e., I
can't get to Microsoft/Outlook Express where I can copy the files.

What did I do, or what should I be doing?

Thanks
