It's not an Outlook Express issue.
Its holds the Windows user profiles.


OK - guess I am in the wrong group Tom.

located in my "Owner" Directory:

NTUSER.DAT 6.4MB
also, ntuser.dat.LOG 1KB

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THIS LARGE,IN-USE, FILE ON MY MAIN HARD DRIVE?
I can't read these files because they are "in use by another process."
Can they be deleted?
