Now they are not stored randomly . They are stored in a very specific 
place . The
correct directory is :

C:\Documents and Settings \ Stuart\ Local Settings \ Identities \
an alphanumeric string \ Microsoft \ Outlook Express \ Inbox.dbx  ; for 
the Inbox  Folder .

On the Above Path Stuart stands for the login name .
