having trouble finding .WAB and .MBX files from command line

[Calvin Sun]

I have a computer that was running Windows 98SE and
Outlook Express 5. Recently the disk developed a problem
and is unable to boot into Windows. I created a Windows
startup disk and can get to a command line interface.

Now I am trying to find my inbox and address books. Part
of the problem of course is that the directory names are
truncated.

I went to C:\PROG~1\OUTLOO~1 but found no .WAB or .MBX
files. Where else could they be? Thanks.

This is a group to support Outlook from the Office group of programs.
Outlook Express is a part of Internet Explorer and is a quite different
program, despite its similar name..

You will probably get a faster and more expert answer if you post this to an
Outlook Express news group.

Try posting in one of these newsgroups:
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie5.outlookexpress for OE 5.x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie55.outlookexpress for OE 5.5x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress for OE 6.x
microsoft.public.internet.outlookexpress.mac for OE for Macintosh

If those groups aren't carried on the news server that's carrying this group
try using msnews.microsoft.com (MS's public news server that's the source
for all the microsoft.public newsgroups).

A good website for information on OE is:
