I might try searching for .DBX files with the Find option which might still be in the Start-up folder in XP, I haven't moved there yet. One of the DBX Files will be the deleted items. I can't imagine though that it would have disappeared from the list in your Outlook Express.

I just don't know what to do at this point. It turns out that my system was already set to find hidden files, so why can't I find the deleted items folder? I even went into the OE folder in Program Files but all I found were some .exe and .dll files. What should I do?
