Having problems with windows xp, system is crashing. I
trying to backup all of my files on to a CD. I can't
locate the files that contain my inbox. Outlook express
not working. Can anyone tell me where I can find these
files in my system.

Thank you

Hi, Bobbie:

This is a group to support Outlook from the Office group of programs.
Outlook Express is a part of Internet Explorer and is a quite different
program, despite its similar name..

You will probably get a faster and more expert answer if you post this to an
Outlook Express news group.

Try posting in one of these newsgroups:
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie5.outlookexpress for OE 5.x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie55.outlookexpress for OE 5.5x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress for OE 6.x
microsoft.public.internet.outlookexpress.mac for OE for Macintosh

If those groups aren't carried on the news server that's carrying this group
try using msnews.microsoft.com (MS's public news server that's the source
for all the microsoft.public newsgroups).

If you're accessing the Microsoft newsgroups through the MS Product Support
Services Community Newsgroups web interface, click
http://communities.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.asp?icp=InternetExplorer
to get to the Internet Explorer groups, then click the plus sign next to
your version of IE to see the link to the Outlook Express group for that
version number.

A good website for information on OE is:

Try \documents and settings\<userid>\local settings\application
data\identities\<long alph-numeric folder>\microsoft\outlook express.

/neo

ps - the local settings folder is a hidden/system folder, so you will need
to configure windows explorer to show you all hidden system files via the
tools | folder options menu option.
