An Outlook Express store file refers to a *.dbx file. For each folder that you see listed in Local Folders of Outlook Express, there is an associated *.dbx file stored in 'Store Folder'. In Windows XP and Windows 2007, this folder is located deep inside 'Documents and Settings' folder and is marked, by default, as hidden. To view its files, you need to first enable 'hidden files view' from folder options. A corrupted store file can cause several issues while sending or receiving e-mails in Outlook Express and most of the times, prompts an error message to inform the user.
