They are the database files that outlook express uses for storing your emails. For example on this system I am currently working in the JAWS folder which is actually the name of a DBX file that was created when I made this folder for the list.

What is a dbx file and how do you know if it corrupt or not?

In that circumstance, you could restore a .bak file to make outlook Express usable again. ----- Original Message ----- From: "David A Ferrin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <jaws-users-list@googlegroups.com> Sent: Thursday, May 17, 2007 4:00 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] Re: Interesting Finds in the Recycle Bin What that means my friend is that outlook express periodically compacts it's DBX files, and as such places older copies of them in your recycle bin. So in a nut shell dump them.

I hope David doesn't mind, and if this is off-topic for the list, I would be more than happy to receive answers to my question off-list at: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To the question at hand then... While checking my recycle bin the other day, I noticed that there are several files corresponding to the folders I have in my Outlook Express program. They are even named the same, save for a .BAK extension. Obviously, the .BAK extension indicates that this is a back-up copy of my folder files, but why are they in there? I have not deleted any files pertaining to Outlook Express, nor have I run any programs associated with Outlook Express, so I'm wondering how they got there, and if there's a way to turn this feature off? While I don't mind that these files are being backed up, it does me no good if they are going directly to my recycle bin, as I may delete them at a crucial time when I do need them. I have checked out the properties of these files, and all they tell me is that their origins are "Outlook Express" and nothing more. If people could check to see if they are experiencing this, I would very much appreciate it. The only thing I have installed since this started happening are the normal Windows and Microsoft updates, but none of them mentioned doing anything to Outlook Express. They were all, either Windows updates, or Microsoft Office Outlook updates. If it helps any, I am using XP home edition, Jaws 7 and Outlook Express 6. Any ideas?
