Anyone know for the future where these dang .DBX files are? Somebody told me you have to go into the Windows registry and start tracking from that point..

I just learned another reason why
I'm not using Outlook! All I still have to learn how to teach Win XP to not even install it?!?!
But 3 basic windows lessons:
1. Microsoft is really good in hiding things 5 sub-directories down
2. always turn file extensions and hidden files on (both!)
3. if in doubt use a 'search' to find the burried sub-directories!
...I discovered plenty of new spots for Windows to hide elemantal files when I cleaned out my recent virus/trojan attack (which by the way is still giving me some minor trouble).
