I have tried to locate folders.dbx without success. How can I access this
file to delete it?
Your help will be much appreciated.

It is hidden. Does your search include hidden files?

Yes Ron it does. I changed the folder options settings to show hidden files.

General OE Caveats:

- Don't use Inbox or Sent Items to archive messages. Move them to local
folders created for this purpose.

- Empty Deleted Items folder daily.

- Frequently perform a manual compact of all OE folders while "working
offline". More at http://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm

- Do not cancel Automatic Compacting, should it occur, and do not attempt to
close OE via Task Manager or shutdown your machine if Automatic Compacting
is taking place.

- Disable email scanning by your anti-virus application. It can cause
corruption (i.e., loss of messages) and provides no additional protection:

Why you don't need your anti-virus to scan your email

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 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.

What is your reason for deleting Folders.dbx? Note that OE must be closed
when you delete a dbx file and also read this.

Consequences of deleting Folders.dbx:

Other than that, no harm will come.

Thanks Bruce, I have now located the folders.dbx
The reason for deleting this folder is that OE will not open and the error
message is msoe.dll can not be initialized.

Please let me kow if there is an alternative way to mdeleting the folder. If
not should I save this folder elsewhere?

Please advise.
