my outlook express folders to go and how can I get back them?
Did a reinstall of XP home and then put upgraded to Office 2007 (and very sorry I did). Somewhere in the process of my outlook express window is devoid of everything except the last incoming messages. I've been in the menus and found no option to show or does not show files (i.e. sent, drafts, trash, etc.). I have noticed similar issues, but they seem to relate to lose existing e-mail stores, either incoming or outgoing. I'm looking for the structure of the folder itself.
BINGO! That's all, Bruce. I have never been in the subdirectory of layout and would not have thought to look there. Now, another question. I installed the backup utility and used a number of times before reinstall, save on a portable hard drive. However, when I go in the restore section, the file structure seems foreign to me and not completed. Do you know where I can find the old dbx files stored? Maybe I can find the old emails as well as the structure of file...?

My Favorites disappeared after I chose Safe Mode, why and how can I get back them?
For some reason, a dialog box appeared when I tried to open Firefox. It never happened to me before. I had to choose Mode without failure or default. I chose Safe Mode and now all my favorites have disappeared! I don't know how to get out of this mode and none of the ways recommended to restore my bookmarks work. Help! Most of my work contacts were in the bookmarks. I'm sure that there was an update of Firefox within the last few days. I have Windows 7.

Hello
See if this will display the options.
While displaying the message, at the top, look for a tiny arrow pointing down, just to the right of the Red (in my photo)! and the blue down arrow. Click on the small arrow and uncheck "Reduce the Ribbon."

I lost my files in my outlook express Inbox. How can I get back them?
I lost my files in my outlook express Inbox. How can I get back them?
The email you see in sent items. Is - this mail you thought you deleted a long time ago? If so, it almost sounds like you had an old identity.
File | Identities | Manage identities. Is there more than one list? If Yes, go to the other identity. If not, read on...
Two reasons the most common for what you describe is disruption of the compacting process, (never touch anything until it's finished), or bloated folders. More about that below.
Why OE insists on compacting folders when I close it? :

http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/IE/community/columns/filecorruption.mspxRecovery tools:
If you use XP/SP2 or SP3, and are fully patched, then you should have a backup of your dbx files in the Recycle Bin (or possibly the message store), copied as bak files.
To restore a folder bak on the message store folder, first find the location of the message store.
Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.
In Windows XP, the .dbx files are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in the Solution Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder options | View.
Close OE and in Windows Explorer, click on the dbx to the file missing or empty file, then drag it to the desktop. It can be deleted later once you have successfully restored the bak file. Minimize the message store.
Open OE and, if the folder is missing, create a folder with the * exact * same name as the bak file you want to restore but without the .bak. For example: If the file is Saved.bak, the new folder should be named saved. Open the new folder, and then close OE. If the folder is there, but just empty, continue to the next step.
First of all, check if there is a bak file already in the message. If there is, and you have removed the dbx file, go ahead and rename it in dbx.
If it is not already in the message, open the trash and do a right-click on the file bak for the folder in question and click on restore. Open the message store up and replace the .bak by .dbx file extension. Close the message store and open OE. Messages must be in the folder.
If messages are restored successfully, you can go ahead and delete the old dbx file that you moved to the desktop.
If you have not then bak copies of your dbx files in the Recycle Bin:DBXpress run in extract disc Mode is the best chance to recover messages:
http://www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/default.aspxAnd see:
http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#4A general warning to help avoid this in the future:
Do not archive mail in default OE folders. They finally are damaged. Create your own folders defined by the user for mail storage and move your mail to them. Empty the deleted items folder regularly. Keep user created folders under 300 MB, and also empty as is possible to default folders.
Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the CPUs, slows down sending and receiving and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs, account setting changes and has even been responsible for the loss of messages. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:

My computer have Windows reloaded and now I can't access my e-mail stored previously in Windows Mail. How can I get back them?
You can try to search for *.eml, but if the disk has been formatted first, they will not be there. The files are also hidden, so make sure that you enable the display of hidden files and folders under control panel | Folder options | View. You can also check with those who 'reloaded' of Windows to see if they have backed up your data first.
See www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx#wm for information on the message to save the data.

lost pictures files etc after restoring to factory settings how can I get back them?

Restoring to factory settings formats the disc, and which erases
everything what he. You probably get something new, but you can
try to do a search on the web for a recovery program that unformats the reader
like here: http://www.easeus.com/resource/unformat.htmIf you unformat the drive successfully and can recover lost files
back, the first thing you should do copy on an external
(CD, DVD, USB sticks, external hard drives, etc.).
Two other points/questions:1. why restore you to the factory settings? This is usually the worst
approach to solve a problem, there's a lot of extra long hard
work and often leads to problems of its own (as it did here).2. I assume you have no backup on external media from your
photos of important files etc. In this case. you played with
the fire. You can read this article on the backup that I wrote:
