Outlook Express 6.0 dbx files can't be opened - deleted identity

[Cliff Stubbs]

I messed up and deleted my identity on Outlook Express. OLE6 says the dbx
files exist, but I see no information on how to access them. I tried
rebuilding the original identity, but found OLE6 assigned a new, unique
identity code every time one creates an identity anew. Does anyone know how
I can "restore"/gain access to my OLE dbx file & folders? Cliff Stubbs
