Default Missing dbx files - OE won't start



May i tag onto this thread? I, also, do not have any .dbx files, and if i
try to start OE i get the msg ... could not open msg store... and then the
msg ... msoe.dll would not initialise...
To clarify, search was set for hidden files etc, and
tools/folderoptionsview - show hidden is selected. So.
Windows is on c:\. My applications are on e:\. Data is on other partitions.
I have the full windows xpsp2 CD; if i run scannow it does not fix the
problem. If i do the repair of OE by any method shall I have to reload all my
applications?

Open Windows Explorer
Tools | Folder Options | Views tab
Select "Show all files"
Uncheck "Hide file extensions for known file types"
Click Apply then OK

Now search for *.dbx

Rename Folders.dbx to Folders.old and then try to start OE.
