Iceman pulls a stupid stunt....
And crashes his system.<br><br>In an effort to resolve some download speed issues I decided to mess with the registry...and crash. I completely crapped out my XP system. I had to load XP on another drive just so I could recover my files.<br><br>I will be reformatting and reloading XP on my big drive again, but this means I will be out of pocket during the evenings for the next week until I can rebuild the whole thing. Luckily I was able to save all my data files and Tribes configs. <br><br>Anyone have any ideas what the Outlook Express mailbox files are named and where they are stored for XP????<br><br><!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :( --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/frown.gif ALT=":("><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p><table border="0"><tr><td><embed align="left" src="http://www.thzclan.com/avatars/ezice.swf" menu="false" quality="high" bgcolor="#000000" width="217" height="166" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/dow ... <td><table border="0" style='Filter: Shadow(Color=#BB1403,Direction=255)'><tr><td><span class='usertitle'>XMEN Iceman [DTM]<br>Founder and Leader of the Base Tribes XMEN Clan<br>Proud member of the Dragon Talon Mercenaries teamplayers Guild<br>Citizen of New Fenecia<br><br>"You weren't much of a challenge" - T2 bot after killing Iceman<br><br>- click on avatar for links - no, not sausage links!</span></td></tr></table></td></tr></table></p><i></i>

Re: Iceman pulls a stupid stunt....
If you are talking mail files, I believe the extension is .eml<br><br>As for where they are stored, it depends on version of Outlook you have. I've seen it store the data in a pretty deep directory (some weird thing, but it was under /system), and I've seen it store into the My Documents directory.<br> <p><br><img src=http://www.xmenclan.org/avatars/ashaman2.jpg width=150 align=left><br><left><a href=http://www.dragontalonmercs.com>Dragon Talon Mercenary</a><br><a href=http://www.xmenclan.org>Member of the XMEN</a><br>Have a Nice Day!<br><br>"Politics, war, martial arts;<br>these are tools to bend the <br>universe to your will."</left><br><br><br><p><i>Edited by: <a href=http://pub3.ezboard.com/uxmengambit.sho ... ge=EN>XMEN Gambit</a> <img src=http://www.xmenclan.org/images/x.gif> at: 7/14/02 8:16:26 pm</i></p></p><i></i>

Re: Iceman pulls a stupid stunt....
I'm pretty sure that the address book files are .wab<br><br>And it looks like the inbox files are here:<br><br>C<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :\ --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/ohwell.gif ALT=":\"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\{B90AD46A-C2F8-4902-87A8-3257A9E7504E}\Microsoft\Outlook Express\Inbox.dbx<br><br>With other folders stored in that same directory with a .dbx extension.<br><br>Remember that I am running Win2k Pro, and I either got Outlook Express from the Win2k CD (part of the OS), or I got it from Office 97. It's one or the other, and I can't remember which. (This also determines where your files will go.)<br><br> <p><br><img src=http://www.xmenclan.org/avatars/ashaman2.jpg width=150 align=left><br><left><a href=http://www.dragontalonmercs.com>Dragon Talon Mercenary</a><br><a href=http://www.xmenclan.org>Member of the XMEN</a><br>Have a Nice Day!<br><br>"Politics, war, martial arts;<br>these are tools to bend the <br>universe to your will."</left><br><br><br><p><i>Edited by: <a href=http://pub3.ezboard.com/uxmengambit.sho ... ge=EN>XMEN Gambit</a> <img src=http://www.xmenclan.org/images/x.gif> at: 7/14/02 8:16:26 pm</i></p></p><i></i>

Re: Iceman pulls a stupid stunt....
I did...but I messed with the registry entry dealing with which was the "last known good configuration". So when I chose that I pulled the wrong one. I was stuck in an ugly loop. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :lol --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/laugh.gif ALT=":lol"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p><table border="0"><tr><td><embed align="left" src="http://www.thzclan.com/avatars/ezice.swf" menu="false" quality="high" bgcolor="#000000" width="217" height="166" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/dow ... <td><table border="0" style='Filter: Shadow(Color=#BB1403,Direction=255)'><tr><td><span class='usertitle'>XMEN Iceman [DTM]<br>Founder and Leader of the Base Tribes XMEN Clan<br>Proud member of the Dragon Talon Mercenaries teamplayers Guild<br>Citizen of New Fenecia<br><br>"You weren't much of a challenge" - T2 bot after killing Iceman<br><br>- click on avatar for links - no, not sausage links!</span></td></tr></table></td></tr></table></p><i></i>
