I would search for a folder name:

Cd \
Dir /s dxbase.dbx (or some other folder that you know the name of).

(Use something that is specific to your computer).

I use Windows XP professional.  

My Outlook Express folders are under

C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Identities\{ a guid
}\Microsoft\Outlook Express\

I have a file, for example, dxbase.dbx that is my folder for dxbase.

Some of these directories are hidden.  Dir /ah shows hidden directories.

I've moved these from system to system, and it's a tedious operation.  I
have a lot of folders.

Good luck!

Dick

Subject: [DXBase] Help!

Excuse this for being off topic, but maybe you can help.  My computer is
slowing dieing, maybe a little faster than normal.  I have able to dump all
the important stuff to a harddrive on my daughter's computer.  The biggest
thing I am trying to find now is the message database for Outlook Express.
If I knew the name I could search the harddrive, but I have no clue.  I was
going to to an export, but it appears you can only export them to Outlook.
I would like to export them to a file that I can import when I get a new
computer.  Any ideas?

Thanks,
Bob
