OE 6 missing

I recently had Windows XP Home Edition - Version 2002 installed.

I was under the impression that Outlook Express 6.0 was part of Windows XP
so I had all the old data (files) moved from the old computer with the intent
of transfering Outlook Express addresses and folders into the new computer.

I can't find Outlook Express.

Please help me.

Do you have the folder C:\Program Files\Outlook Express?

Another way to find Outlook Express is to search (Start Search) for
the file that starts Outlook Express: msimn.exe

Did you look in Start | All Programs to open OE?

In the Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs | Add/Remove Windows Components,
make sure OE is checked.

If you're looking for the Message Sto

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.

When you click Start do you not have an E-mail icon in the upper left under
Internet?
What program does it open?
