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..

Me and registry's do not get along, and I stay out!

Basically, you just need to show Hidden Files.

From one of those websites:

"Options->Views->Show Hidden Files and Folders

The DBX files that Outlook Express uses are located in:

c:\ (or whatever drive windows resides on)
Documents and Settings
Username (your username)
Application Data
Identities
GUID Identifier (random string like {3B0FA092-2222-1111-A1B2-111A1AA1AAA11}
Microsoft
Outlook Express"
