Newsgroup files.

[ramckelvey]

Can someone tell me how WinXp stores the newsgroup files used by Outlook
express? Under WinME a newsgroup like rec.arts.movies became
rec.arts.movies.dbx. Since I've changed to XP, I've read several newsgroups,
yet a file search shows no trace of them on my harddrive.Is there a new
extension other than .dbx?
TIA.

Hi

They are still .DBX files. Tools>Options>Maintenance - click on the =
'Store Folder...' button - make sure that you don't alter anything - =
make a note of that folder then navigate to it in Windows Explorer. =
You'll find all the OE files there.

Make sure you have folder options/view set to show hidden and system files
as well in order to see them.

Thanks to everyone. I found my .dbx files. But now a second question arises.
I see that some postings show certified virus free by AVG. I am using the
exact same program, version,database and release date. I have it set to
certify, yet I notice my original post and probably this don't show the
cert.
Always looking for help.Thanks again.
