No, please use F1 and read about profiles before you being. You will keep all of your current stuff when you point the profile to use your current .pst file. However, I would certainly recommend locating all ..pst files on your computer to see which one is actually the most current one and make it the default.

||||| I am running Outlook 2002. I’ve lost my

||||| Outlook, I got a dialog box saying: “The location

||||| created

||||| creating the shortcuts, and everything was there, except for my
||||| calendar. I have 2 Personal Folders (don’t ask
||||| why, I don’t know how the extra one got there).
||||| I tried the

||||| went into backup and it seems my backup is not picking up my
||||| Calendar. Do you have a clue as to how I can find my Calendar?
||||| Do

||||| messages has changed (going to MS Help in Outlook is useless)?
||||| And

||||| up
||||| Outlook.pst?
||||| Thank you
||||| for your help.
