From what I remember, under NT they would have been in
C:\Winnt\Profiles\<user>\...

Under XP, they will be under C:\Windows\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local
Settings\Identities\{992A858E-610E-4E05-9754-D6AA653E7FDA}\Microsoft\Outlook
Express

Note, the GUID or Hex number I listed for XP will be different for your
system

Hi Juan,

For OE:

Close OE. Then go to Windows Explorer/Tools/Folder Options/View/Show Hidden
files and folders. Then do a Search for *.dbx...Open OE/File/Import. Be
sure to set search options to search hidden files, folders and system
folders. Inbox is under a hidden folder.
