try getting a free dbx viewer from snapfish.com to try to find and recover
lost (maybe) OE files. I did all that and installed a program (freeware) called OE View but now I don't know where to look in the computer. I"ve looked in the Outlook Express folder in the Program Files folder but no dbx files or any kind of OE database. Where the Sam Hill are the OE emails stored on the computer?? What directory? Anybody know? rock

Are you attempting to recover messages from Hotmail-Sent Items folder (per
your original thread here, "what the? BEAR and the other pros...are you there??") ? Have you compacted all OE folders since they went missing? -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-Windows (IE/OE, Shell/User, Security), Aumha.org VSOP, DTS-L.org rock9995 wrote: try getting a free dbx viewer from snapfish.com to try to find and recover lost (maybe) OE files.

ToolsOptionsMaintenanceStore 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 StartRunCtrl+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 WindowsXP, 2K & 3K, 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 StartControl PanelFolder OptionsView. -- Bruce Hagen MS MVP - Outlook Express ~IB-CA~ "rock9995" wrote in message ... try getting a free dbx viewer from snapfish.com to try to find and recover lost (maybe) OE files.

Bear, I made rock9995 my default email this afternoon after removing an old
bellsouth address that had been the default for a long time. It seems mighty co-incidental that all the sent files in OE disappeared right after that. Except for the paid account of course. after piddling around for awhile looking for them, I hit "synchronize all" and watched some files get downloaded in the various accounts but if that also compacted them I don't know. I didn't actually compact anything by clicking something as far as I know. they're gone aren't they? gone Gone GONE! rock ps. thanks "PA Bear" wrote in message ...

1. Well, thanks to Galen, I now have a free OE Viewer for later use.
2. PA Bear told me how to do user-created files to store my stuff and how the cow ate the cabbage with regard to what probaby is my reality: all sent letters lost but... 3. Thanks to Bruce Hagen, I now know how to find the location of all the OE files and make 'em visible (unfortunately the sent files weren't there anymore) 4. Steve Cochran turned me on to oehelp.com which has some good tips about what to do if all else fails. Since all else has failed (so far) I'll give it a try. Can't hurt. I WILL back up more often to dvd and THANKS OE PROFESSIONALS IN THIS NEWSGROUP. I speak for a lot of not-that-illiterate guys out there that sincerely appreciate the time you put in to try to help us out when s**t happens. Really. Thank all of you very much. rock "rock9995" wrote in message ... try getting a free dbx viewer from snapfish.com to try to find and recover lost (maybe) OE files.
