Outlook Express 6 Lost Files

[gskywalkers]

I am using Outlook Express 6 and cannot find where the files are stored. I
searched for *.DBX and it gave me a location but it's empty. Searched for
*.pst and it could not find any files.

PST is for outlook, not express. For either program, the files are hidden -
so you need to enable the option to show hidden files and folders to see
them.
