Its in hidden files Dave, so tick the show hidden files options and follow this path, substituting youre username for where mine says Sandra  

C:\Documents and Settings\Sandra\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\{3D6BA1BB-5B64-4C44-B1A5-1DC56BBC5AF6}\Microsoft\Outlook Express

Then you should have said "Can anyone point me in the left direction?", Dave.
