My computer crashed today, but I had my email files on a thumb drive. I
put it in my wife's computer and changed the location of the email files
to my thumbdrive. Worked fine.
But I can't change it back!

Her email files are at c:\documents and setting\owner\local
settings\application data\identities\{9F3F1FBF-9CCB-44C4-8345-B1DF87F0}
But I can't get at them. When I try to change Outlook Express to that it
doesn't see it.
What do I do?

Although OE can't see them, MyComputer can. I moved them to a folder in My
Documents and now OE doesn't have a problem. All's well that ends well, but
it was a very unpleasant hour before I figured it out.
Earlier in the day my computer crashed, which is why I was doing this. Then
while I was doing a non-destructive restore of my operating system we had a
2 hour poweroutage, which trashed it beyond repair. I am doing a
format/restore now. Argh.
