Bruce,
There never has been a + sign in front of the GUID.
Bobbi,
You are looking in the wrong folder. You are in
C:\Documents and Settings\Bobbi\Application Data\Identities\{4E3.....A2CB}
You should be in
C:\Documents and Settings\Bobbi\Local Settings\Application
Data\Identities\{4E3.....A2CB}\Microsoft\Outlook Express
After \Bobbi, you should go to \Local Settings.
I remembered that another poster had the same problem.
