Re- Outlook Express 6.0
I have a picture, Dog.bmp, located in my Default Pictures folder. If I want to add this picture to an Outlook Express Email I cannot use the ‘Browse’ option to follow the path to Default Picture, I can only get as far as the All Users folder. Path Is: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\User Account Pictures\Default Pictures Re- WindowsXP Pro SP2, If I try to find ‘Ddog.bmp’ by going to Start,r/click Explore I can still only get as far as All Users . If I double click here, no Application Data folder is shown to allow me to proceed to open the next folder.. How can I open this ‘Explore’ path all the way to Default Pictures so that I can : Add ‘dog.bmp, to an email by going to OE/ Add picture/ browse, or find ‘dog.bmp’ by going to Start,r/click Explore and get all these hidden folders to show? In other words how can I get all the folders to display? -- chequer |

In the future, I would save pictures in a user created folder on your HD,
located in My Documents, but........ Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store Folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Press the Tab key to highlight the folder location, then Ctrl+C. Close OE, then Start | Run | Ctrl+V will put the location in the box - Click OK and you'll see the OE files. Otherwise, write the location down and navigate to it in Windows Explorer. In WinXP, Win2K & Win2K3, the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show Hidden Files and Folders under Start | Control Panel | Folder Options Icon | View, or in Windows Explorer | Tools | Folder Options | View. And also: Clear the Temporary Internet Files: In IE | Tools | Internet Options | Delete Files button. And check the box to Delete Offline content. Whenever possible, save a picture as a JPG or GIF. A Bitmap uses about 70 to 90% more space. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Outlook Express ~IB-CA~ "chequer" wrote in message ...
