Create your new Profile.
Quit Outlook
Rename (or delete) the new PST created.
Start Outlook.

It will say that it cannot find the PST file and then give you the option of
choosing one.

OL 2002 SP3
Win XP HE SP1

*Follow-up to: microsoft.public.outlook*

hi,

it is possible that my current (default) OL profile has become corrupted.

i need to create a NEW profile for troubleshooting purposes and see if it
resolves current problems.

the most important issue is:
how do i create this new profile so that it uses my *current* pst file so
that i can have a seamless process and continue where i "left off" in
terms of all of the items contained in the *current* pst file, emails,
appointments, addresses, etc.?

do i just create new profile and tell it to "use *current* pst file to
send receive emails--as opposed to using the new pst file created during
new profile creation process?

if i "tell" OL to use my *current* pst file to receive emails, etc., will
it then also read all of the addresses, tasks, etc., in the current pst
file--or are all this things handled separately and thus need to be
imported into new profile, etc.?

i am shooting for minimal disturbance between my current setup and what it
will be with new profile.....

thanks.
