Bakup of IE Message Folders

I just recently upgraded from Win98 SE to WinXP. When I
was using Win98, I would periodically backup my IE
Message folders (.dbx files), which were located at
C:\Windows\Application Data\Identities\{72af2eco-1927-
11d5-9e09-831bc25b752}\Microsoft\Outlook Express. If I
ever had to restore windows to an earlier configuration
using Ghost, I would simply copy the .dx files back to
that location. After upgrading to WinXP, I find that
there is no C:\Windows\Application Data folder, and that
all of my .dbx files now reside in a folder used by one
of my Greeting Card creation programs. How do I fix this?

Thanks,
Dan Cordoba
 
Tools - Options - Maintenance tab - Store Folder allows you to choose where
you keep these files. The default is buried down under Docs and
Settings\Your User Name\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\{Big
Number}\Microsoft\Outlook Express. To find this in Explorer you need to
unhide Local Settings.
