Deleted Folder
If using XP/SP2 or SP3 and have recently compacted, you may have a bak file
in either the Recycle Bin or the OE message store. Read on, but let us know if that is the case and check the date created to see if it would have all or most of the messages. First, make sure it isn't in Deleted Items. If not, see if the dbx file for the folder still exists in the message store and manually restore it as follows. Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store Folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Write the location down and navigate to it in Windows Explorer or, copy and paste it into Start | Run. In WinXP, Win2K & Win2K3, the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Explorer, you must enable Show Hidden Files and Folders under Start | Control Panel | Folder Options | View. In the message store in Windows Explorer, click on the dbx file for the missing folder and drag it to the Desktop at the top of the folder tree. Open OE and create a folder with the *exact* same name as the one on your Desktop. Open the new folder and then close OE. (You must do this). Go back to Windows Explorer and Click Desktop and drag the file from the Desktop to the OE store folder that you clicked on to reveal the .dbx files. Prompt - "Do you want to overwrite......."? Click Yes. *Note* If you have moved the Outlook Express store folder from it's default location on drive C to another drive, drag the dbx file to a location on that drive and not the Desktop. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Outlook Express Imperial Beach, CA "Lenny" wrote in message ...
