I am attempting to transfer all of the files or alternatively the entire
folder from an outlook express local folder to a CD in my D: drive. I tried
to find the folder and files in explorer with no success. I know that the
extension of these files is .dbx so I tried search and that did not work. I
sure would a appreciate any help that you can give me.

They are in a hidden folder. Use Folder Options> View to show hidden files
and files. Then open Explorer to the following folder to access your *.dbx
files:

C:\Documents and Settings\<your user name>\Local Settings\Application
Data\Identities\{a really long number will be here}\Microsoft\Outlook
Express\
