Hi Johann, don't know if this will assist but it's easy to reverse if it doesn't

Rename the Folders.dbx file:
1. Click Start, point to Find, and then click Files or Folders.
2. In the Named box, type folders.dbx.
3. In the Look In box, click your primary hard disk (usually drive C), and then
click Find Now.
4. Right-click the Folders.dbx file, and then click Rename.
5. Type folders.old, and then click OK.
Start Outlook Express. This creates a new Folders.dbx file automatically.

You may have to search hidden files.
