Hi All,

I am using Windows XP Home Edition. I noticed some ".dbx" files that appear 
to be storing old mail. That is, mail I had deleted into the delete folder 
of Outlook Express and then emptied said box. I have a feeling that deleted 
mail is now being stored on the HD in "deleted items.dbx" Is this right? Or?

In any event, I want to empty all folders that are storing unneeded stuff. 
Which folders can I safely empty without affecting the operation or 
performance of programs on the computer? Thanks!

Duane, W8DBF
