After furious head scratching, Ideasmiths asked:
| 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
