Re: Help to view a visable/invisable folder in Outlook Express

In Windows Explorer, click on the dbx file for the missing folder and drag it to the Desktop. Open OE and create a folder with the *exact* same name as the one on your desktop. ***Copy a message from any folder to the new one. You MUST do this.*** Close OE. Go back to Windows Explorer and Click Desktop and drag the file from the Desktop to the OE store folder that you clicked on to reveal the .dbx files. Prompt - "Do you want to overwrite......."? Click Yes.

Please can any body assists

How can I alter the command that wont let me see/view a folder in Outlook Express Ver: 6 (I Run Xp Pro and SP2 complete with all updates)

The folder is clearly visible in ---- \Documents and Settings\Mike\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\{9AD6928E-4CHH-4B97-8BU3-56BAE32AC3A2}\Microsoft\Outlook Express,
It shows a content of 3mb, looks exactly like the other visible folders. But doesn't open when outlook express is loaded,
Why? and What can I do about it without having to purchase a recovery program?

The Folder opens and is editable in Notepad and WordPad can this be used to recover the folder?
or is the command to change/alter instruction deep in regedit? or something else.?


Many thanks Glenn
