Re: [A-1-Computer_Tech] Outlook Express storage folder
GASP!! I figured it out! I allowed hidden files to be viewed and there is the file path I need! Sheesh. I thought my emails were sitting in limbo somewhere.

Re: [A-1-Computer_Tech] Outlook Express storage folder
Yeah Pat, Microsoft has always had those files hidden by default because they don't think their customers are intelligent enough to not screw things up. After a fresh install changing that setting is one of the first things you've got to do. Here are some other normal chores not to forget after a fresh install: 1. Install drivers for the chipset - very important, even if the PC seems to run ok. 2. Make sure all devices are working properly in device manager (Start, Run, type DEVMGMT.MSC). If you see any yellow !, or red X, you need to install correct drivers. 3. If you use any anti-virus and firewall get them installed soon. I recommend the built-in Windows firewall, and Microsoft Security Essentials for anti-virus. Both free downloads from MS. Donk On 7/5/2013 1:40 PM, PatB wrote: GASP!! I figured it out!

Re: [A-1-Computer_Tech] Outlook Express storage folder
Thanks so much. #1. I'd like to trust my professional 'puter guy did this, but I don't know specifically. But you'll have to 'splain it to me since that's a new one for me. #2. Done! All is good. #3. I know I have to do this. He advised against AVG because it runs ALL the time, slowing down the machine, so I'm rethinking that (sacrificing the paid time I still have) and will probably go to Essentials, which seems adqeuate. patb - Original Message - From: Donk To: A-1-Computer_Tech@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, July 05, 2013 11:41 AM Subject: Re: [A-1-Computer_Tech] Outlook Express storage folder Yeah Pat, Microsoft has always had those files hidden by default because they don't think their customers are intelligent enough to not screw things up.

Re: [A-1-Computer_Tech] Outlook Express storage folder
If device manager doesn't show any problems your guy has already installed the chipset drivers - so no worries there. I used to use AVG, but MS Security Essentials runs so well and is so un-intrusive I switched to it. Who else knows better how to protect windows than Microsoft? You can get it at the Microsoft website if you decide to try it. Totally free - and absolutely NO nags - unlike all other AV apps. http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5201 Donk On 7/5/2013 2:54 PM, PatB wrote: Thanks so much. #1.
