Copying an OutlookExpress Folder Question

I use Gmail, but have an Outlook Express Folder that is very important to me, and need to transfer that single folder full of emails,
to a thumb drive...take it with me, and transfer it onto another computer.

I used the steps found on the web to copy that single folder into a new saved folder that contains the correct amount of data, of that OE folder.

When I try to open that copied folder to make sure all the emails are in there and readable, I get:

Windows can't open file, blah blah,
Select program or
Find on Web

I can't find any appropriate program to use to open it with.
It is a DBX File, 1.19 MB in size and contains ~ 25 emails, both from and to...

Any tips/help would be appreciated.

I know how to toss that folder onto a thumb and load it back on another computer; I simply want to be able to open that saved folder,
make sure it has the info I need, etc.
Thanks, mD
