The file is hidden in a hidden folder (sometimes).

You click on My computer-Toolsfolder opetions-View
Then select the Hidden Files and foldes-Show hidden files and folders. Press Apply then okay.

Lets say your User name is "Ideasmiths"

Now startup your outlook and when it complain, you search under C: - Documents and Settings-Ideasmiths-local settings-Application Data-Microsoft-Outlook

you should see your .pst files there!

Note that the folder local settings was a hidden folder. After you have found it, well, I suggest you place it some where obviouse so that you can backup easier next time. Remember to turn OFF the show hidden folders after you are done.

Hope that helps
