Lost files from Outlook Express

[ekbetsy]

I was working to clean up some files from Outlook Express, the 2004 edition.  I thought I could figure out how to back them up myself, which apparatnly was kind of dumb.  I found the files and burned them to a CD, but now when I try to open them (they open in Outlook 07) they open a new contacts screen.  Worse, I accidentally clicked "Move Files" instead of "Copy Files" so now I can't even access them from Outlook Express.  I tried copying them from the CD to the orginal folder, but Outlook still doesn't show them.  Please tell me there's a way to get my data back!

Thanks!

Outlook Express, the 2004 edition.

There is no such thing.  So, please clarify.

And, please review your post and be precise in distinguishing between Outlook Express and Outlook.  They are not the same thing.
