Default I need help finding files in Outlook Express?

Where can I find POP3uidl.dbx in Outlook express? I've tried going to Tools
Maintanence Store Folder but that's not the file that's in there. What do I
do now to be able to find it so I can delete it as suggested in other help
threads. I'm still unable to receive messages in OE. I can compose, use
stationery (some stationery) and send but I can't get the incoming messages
to download into OE. I have read all of the help pages and still con't get
this problem resolves which is why I had asked, previously in another thread,
if it's possible to uninstall OE totally and reintall it. I'm not sure
there's any other way to resolve this especially since I can't seem to find
that file I've been advised to delete. Please let me know where I can find
this file or how I can get my messages to download into my identities in OE.
Thanks!

Tools | Options Maintenance | Store Folder is not where it is, it shows you
where it is. I have no idea if this will fix your problem since you do not
include previous replies, but it won't hurt to delete it, and *Close OE*
first.

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.
