Title: Accessing the PATH to Outlook Express
Post by: melll on October 24, 2004, 11:54:38 AM

I would like to relocate my Outlook Express message files from a temporary folder to the Outlook Express folder.  I did  a search to find the Outlook Express folder, but I cannot access the complete Path in Explore.  (I use XP Home Edition)
I verified the Folder Options in My Computer. It says "show hidden files and folders" and "Hide Protected Operating System Files" is unchecked.  
The path is: [glb]C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\{8A8B7FF5-DA6B-4C03-8963-4FCA2951D8E3}  
\Microsoft\ [/glb]
However when I go to explore, the Path does not show anything after the long series in the brackets {}. The Microsoft folder is not shown. Why?  How can I access the full Path and put these files into the Outlook express folder?
