Default Can't find .mbx files

I was going to back up my OE .mbx files but when I did a search, they're
nowhere to be found.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Nevermind, I had it in my head they were called mbx, not dbx.

So, I hope you as a security expert are testing Vista as well, Robear,
and if so what build are you testing? I was testing build 5600 and am
now testing build 5728. Thanks in advance for your most welcome reply.
