A PST file is only used by Outlook, and not by Outlook Express. If you do
not have Outlook installed on the computer, a PST file is just a collection
of useless data which is unreadable by any other program.

Good Day: I saved all of my Outlook emails onto a CD before I had to do a
complete reinstall. But when I try to open my CD's it is in code and ask
me
to select encoding. When I do some of this it then says .pst files cannot
be
opened.
Can anyone help me to open my CD.
I also did a backup on a DVD and am having trouble opening it. Was I
wrong
to do a backup on a DVD. I really didn't know the difference. I sure
would
appreciate some help.
