Outlook Express Problems - Please Help!

[Zac3010]

Hey all, out of stupidity I tried to send a crazy huge file to someone through outlook express. Now every time I open up outlook it trys to send the file. I try to go into outbox and delete it, but once I even open the outbox it makes the program not respond. Is there anyway that I could manualy delete the outgoing file from the outlook directery located somewhere in the C drive? If so where is it located? Is there anyway to solve this problem? Thanks for the help.

Zac3010,
i found this on the microsoft support website:
You can create a new Outbox folder using the following steps:
1. Exit Outlook Express.
2. Search your hard drive for Outbox.dbx and delete this file
3. Restart Outlook Express. A new empty outbox folder is created automatically.
if that doesn't work, the page it was on is found here (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=262052)
let us know how it turns out

Wow, you are good! Thanks man, that defentially worked. One quick question though: What does the file extension .dbx stand for and what does the file type do? Thanks again!!!

from what i found here (http://filext.com/detaillist.php?extdetail=dbx&Submit3=Go%21) the file extension .dbx just seems to be what microsoft uses for its outlook express folders.
the site i linked to seems to be a good one for looking up these sort of extensions
