Hello Thanks : You said "Open outlook data file in that Profile". What
profile do you mean? Sorry. I read the three web sites you suggested.
pst file is located in Docs & settingsownerLocal
settingsapplication datamicrosoftoutlook. There is no path to it
in windows explorer. It goes as far as c:/driveDocuments &
settingsOwner.The path stops there. There is nolocal
settingsapplication data etc.


Yes there is. Local Settings is, by default, a hidden folder. Windows
Explorer doesn't show it unless you tell it to do so. In Windows Explorer,
click ToolsFolder OptionsView. CLick the radio button labeled "Show
hidden files and folders". COnsider, too, unchecking the box labeled "Hide
extensions for known file types". Click OK. Windows Explorer will now show
those hidden folders.

If you'd rather not do that, you can still see inside those hidden folders.
In Windows Explorer's Address bar, enter

C:\Documents and Settings\yourname\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook

and click Go. You should see your Outlook PST file.
