Im using Windows 2000 Pro, lately I had a problem with my PC and I need to reformat but have to back-up my email
history file particularly "Inbox.dbx". Where can I find this file. On older versions of windows like 98 you can easily find it but in Win2K i dont know..... Can anyone help me ???

look for a folder simular to this:
C:\Documents and Settings\"username"\Local Settings\Application DataIdentities\{EDBA67F0-F7A3-4DAE-B8D9-3ECD8F3A1F5C}\Microsoft\Outlook Express

I know its stored on that folder I can see if I right click on the inbox i know exactly what the folder is but if I use Windows explorer it seem that this folder is invisible or protected that even if I use a search the Windows Explorer cannot find it.
