Outlook Express folder hidden

[BobNY]

Windows XP
Outlook Express

After running a registry cleaner (System Mechanic), I noticed that one of the folders in Outlook Express could not be opened. With the name of the folder still in the folder list, when I tried to open the folder, the screen would shake but the folder would not open. I shut down the machine and today, the folder is no longer on the folder list. I know that the data is not lost because the folder is still present on the hard drive with the extension .dbx.

Tentative conclusions:
1. System Mechanic deleted a registry entry that eliminated this folder in my folder list.

Anyone know how I can recapture this folder?

Thanks,
Bob

Worked like a charm. It seems that EVERY time I have run into a technical problem, Tek-Tips has responded with a cogent solution. If only we could promote this board more on the net.

Thanks again,
