Who told you to do that?
In Windows Explorer do Tools-Folder Options-View and unhide files there.

In OE do Tools-Options-Maintenance-Message Store. copy the location and
paste into the addressbar of Windows Explorer.

You need to copy ALL the dbx files, INCLUDING the one called folders.dbx
otherwise WM won't see the files as an OE message store...
