Just right click on any OE folder, select properties and you will see the
path to the .dbx file for that folder and all the others in OE. When you do
a search for *.dbx files you need to go into the "More advanced options" of
search and make sure you have hidden and system files checked.

I have done everything from display system files to show hidden files and I
cannot see the \Microsoft\Outlook Express folders under identities\{hex}

The search function shows that the files are there, but thru my computer I
cannot see the files to copy in other .dbx files

Any suggestions
