Can't find all my *.dbx files

[bernie1927]

Hello,
I was trying to back up my OE messages and went the routine: Tools, Options, Maintenance, Store folder and could not get any further. A search for dbx files turned up only some files.
What am I doing wrong? Are there hidden files?

The files are probably in a hidden folder, but why do you think you are doing anything wrong? If you found the dbx files, that's where the message are. Why do you think you don't have all of them?

Are you going by this http://support.microsoft.com/kb/270670 ?

Well, it's like this: I did not find all the dbx files but only the ones through the letter "C"
As I mentioned I went through the routine suggested and ended up with a box and showing the location of the files. When I went to that location I only found a few of the folders.
What do you mean by your question, i.e.

Thanks for your interest.

So how do you know how many dbx files you should have? If you say did not find all of them, means you know how many there should be. What makes you think there would be more than what the search found?

That link is the backup procedure for Outlook Express, I asked if that was the directions you were following? It has everything you need to back up your data in that link.
