Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store Folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Write the location down and navigate to it in Windows Explorer or, copy and paste it into Start | Run.

In WinXP, Win2K & Win2K3, the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show Hidden Files and Folders under Start | Control Panel | Folder Options Icon | View, or in Windows Explorer | Tools | Folder Options | View.

This freeware tool backs up **everything** in OE in seconds. Then you can copy the backup to DVD. Disregard what is written in red. That is referring to a different program.

Would like to make a backup DVD of my .dbx boxes but cannot locate
them on my hard drive - looked in Outlook Express folder in WIn XP but
not there. Ran search and they were not found.

Where does one find them?

Thanks,

Mary
