Can someone help? I think, your explorer doesn't show hidden files and hidden folders. If OS is WindowsXP, 1. Start Explorer, and select menu - ``Tool'' - ``Folder options.'' 2. Select the second tab - ``view.'' 3. Check radio button - ``Show all files and folders.'' So, you can find Outlook Express mail archives (*.dbx) in the child folder of your ``Document and Setting.'' -- --- Takashi SAKAMOTO (PXG01715@nifty.ne.jp)
