Default locating old msg folders

I am using Outlook Express 6. I recently backed up my system by copying
everything to a HDD and reloading XP Pro. I know want to find my old msg
folders from outlook express. Am having trouble locating them. Need some help.

Default locating old msg folders

Do an Advanced Search and include Hidden Files and Folders. Search for:

*.dbx

If you find them, you should be able to import them to your current OE
identity.

The default location would be
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application
Data\Identities\{long string of numbers and letters}\Microsoft\Outlook
Express
